Murano Glass Duck by Alfredo Barbini from the 1950s
This Murano glass duck figurine, attributed to Alfredo Barbini and dated to the 1950s, features a dark green smoked glass body with controlled air bubbles. The head and neck, a lighter, translucent emerald green hue, are elegantly curved backward. The wings are detailed with texture, with vertical lines etched into the surface that contrast with the circular patterns and smaller bubbles on the bird's shoulder. The figurine rests on a clear glass base resembling a block of ice, with a rough, irregular texture that includes hints of green.
