About the Item
A striking hand-blown Murano glass pelican in vibrant turquoise, holding a shimmering goldfish in its beak. A whimsical and original 1980s decorative sculpture from Italy.
Dimensions: L 25 cm x H 31 cm x D 25 cm ( L 9.8" x H 12.2" x D 9.8")
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.
We are specialized in vintage lighting and Murano glass sculptures made in Italy and we have hundreds of items made by the greatest Italian manufacturers from the 60s onwards: Leucos, Effetre, Mazzega, Vistosi, Stilnovo, Arredoluce, Arteluce, Fontana Arte or other smaller, less known but very high quality factories.

FOR U.S. CUSTOMERS: The Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act established that for imports into the U.S. under $800, you no longer pay customs fees.
FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION: The piece is located in Italy and perhaps the buyer will have to pay import taxes, which have varying amounts depending on the country of purchase.
SHIPMENT DAMAGE: We guarantee extremely professional packaging to preserve the goods. Sometimes damage may occur: if this is the case, please take a picture of the broken piece in the packaging and email it to us immediately.
For any problems, please contact us before leaving negative feedback or low star rating, we will try our best to help you.
Happy Shopping and thank YOU for your choice!
