Vintage Murano Art Glass Black Bird Mid-Century Modern, 1960's
About the Item
Beautiful mid-century modern Murano glass black bird in wonderful vintage condition.
Mid-Century Modern Murano Glass Bird in the Manner of Barovier.
Beautiful Murano hand blown black Italian art glass bird dove figurine or paperweight.
This Murano glass black bird figure is unsigned but very nicely done.
The bird has a very cute face, and rare technique to the body.
It looks as if a combination of techniques were used in creating the gorgeous feather-like pattern on the bird.
A silver gray and black core done with balloon geometrical diamond pattern and bollinato bubble technique is then covered with a clear Sommerso glass.
The feathered bubble effect is usually referred to as "fumato", which in glass terms means a gradual change of shade, which means "smoked", a technique which involves exposing the glass to smoke from a fire, to give the glass a smoky colour by picking up particles of unburnt ember and ash from the smoke.
Considerable skill is required to carry out this operation successfully.
This type of work was very popular in the mid 1960's or mid century modern.
Would make a great display piece on any desk as a crystal paperweight or in a curio cabinet or side table to any addition for a collector of high end Italian Murano Crystal Glass Collection.
It is in wonderful vintage condition with no chips, cracks or chiggers.
