"Falling man I"
Formia Murano Hand-Blown Glass Sculpture – Rare Pink Human Figure on black glass Base
This exceptional sculpture is one of two unique and distinct pieces created using the same rare pink Murano glass and expressive "falling" pose. Both were handcrafted by Formia's master glassmakers using the hot-sculpting technique, and each figure reveals subtle variations that make them truly one of a kind.
While offered individually, the two pieces naturally complement each other—visually, conceptually, and historically. Acquiring both would mean securing a rare matched pair of collectible Murano art glass figures, a truly rare opportunity in today’s market.
If you're interested in the companion piece, feel free to inquire—we’ll be happy to provide further details.
An exceptional work of contemporary Murano artistry, this hand-blown glass sculpture by Formia captures the expressive tension of the human form in a state of suspended movement. The figure, seemingly caught in a delicate fall, is gracefully perched atop a solid round base in polished black glass—adding depth, contrast, and sculptural presence.
The craftsmanship is remarkable, revealing the signature fluidity and technical mastery of Murano’s most accomplished glassmakers.
What makes this piece especially collectible is the use of pink glass—an exceptionally rare and difficult color to produce in Murano tradition. The pink tone requires complex chemistry and precise temperature control, making it highly sought after among collectors of authentic Murano works.
The sculpture is in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Only minimal surface wear is visible, consistent with age.
A striking and rare collector’s piece, ideal for lovers of modern Italian design, glass sculpture, or figurative art with a bold, emotive presence.
Dimensions: L 22 cm x H 27 cm x D 22 cm ( L 8.6" x H 10.6" x D 8.6")
We recently came across the untouched inventory of a Venetian shop that closed in the 1990s. Every piece is genuine vintage, some still bearing their original price tags in old Italian lire.
The glass is beautiful and in excellent condition, as it was carefully packed away for decades. Condition Excellent, no chips or cracks.
Please check the photos for details of each item. Where possible, we’ve kept the original label—even if it’s faded or partly hidden.
