About the Item

This charming Murano glass bull sculpture exemplifies the creativity and craftsmanship of Venetian glassmaking in the mid-20th century. Small in scale but striking in presence, the piece is executed in clear glass with suspended air bubbles (bullicante technique) and accented with bold black inclusions. The stylized form of the bull is both playful and elegant, reflecting the ingenuity of Murano artisans in transforming simple animal figures into refined decorative objects. A particularly desirable feature of this example is the original Murano Glass label still intact on the surface, authenticating its provenance and making it especially appealing to collectors. The combination of the geometric inclusions and the controlled bubble effect creates a dynamic visual rhythm, allowing the sculpture to catch and refract the light beautifully from every angle. Perfect for collectors of Murano glass, animal-themed sculptures, or mid-century decorative arts, this bull embodies both charm and craftsmanship. Its compact size makes it an ideal accent piece for a desk, bookshelf, or cabinet display, while its authenticity ensures long-term value for discerning buyers. In excellent vintage condition, it represents the enduring appeal of Murano’s artistry and the playful sophistication of Italian glass design. Provenance Private European collection Literature Comparable examples illustrated in Marc Heiremans, 20th Century Murano Glass, Stuttgart, 1993.
