About the Item
This exceptional Murano glass sculpture, attributed to Antonio Da Ros for Cenedese, represents the playful yet refined spirit of Italian mid-century glassmaking. Crafted in the stylized form of a porcupine, the piece showcases bold hues of ruby red and violet, masterfully executed through the sommerso technique—where multiple layers of colored glass are encased within crystal-clear glass to achieve depth and brilliance. The result is a sculpture that transforms with the light, radiating richness and modernity.
As artistic director of Cenedese from the 1950s, Da Ros was celebrated for his innovative approach to color and form. This work exemplifies his ability to merge animal motifs with abstract, sculptural design, creating an objet d’art that is at once decorative and sophisticated.
A particularly rare feature of this example is the original Cenedese Murano factory label preserved on the base, authenticating its provenance and making it especially desirable to collectors. In excellent vintage condition, the sculpture retains its clarity and vibrant colors, with no chips or restorations.
Ideal for collectors of Italian glass or mid-century decorative arts, this Antonio Da Ros porcupine is both a charming zoomorphic creation and a significant piece of Murano glass heritage.
