About the Item
This exquisite Murano glass tortoise sculpture is attributed to Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d’Arte, a testament to the mastery of Italian glass artistry from the mid-20th century. Featuring the iconic Sommerso technique, the tortoise showcases a striking blend of rich amethyst purple fading into deep blue, encased within clear glass. The expressive head, tiny feet, and delicate tail are meticulously crafted, highlighting the artisan's attention to detail.
The tortoise's body has an organic, flowing form, and the inner color transitions add a sense of depth and luminosity. Its playful yet elegant design makes it an eye-catching decorative piece, perfect for collectors of Murano art glass or as a statement item in any modern interior.
