Venini Murano Fulvio Bianconi Tiepolo Head Figurine
Located in Brussels, BE
The Commedia dell’arte figurines are one of Fulvio Bianconi's most characteristic productions for Venini.
Their creation can be dated around 1947-1948. The series, which originally consisted of twelve models, was exhibited at the 24th Venice Biennale in 1948.
It is important to see this series of figurines as a cartoonish reinterpretation of the figurines that were very popular on the island of Murano in the 1930s.
We recognize here the ironic touch of the work of Fulvio Bianconi who an illustrator was.
Fulvio Bianconi uses here for each figurine a different costume and mask, the base is always made of lattimo glass decorated for polychrome glass costumes.
Attitudes are also different for each character.
We rarely find the heads of these figurines which were rare productions and out of catalog.
Charming objects blown by masters outside the “regular” production.
We present here the head of Giangurgolo, a figurine which bore the reference 2900 in the Venini catalog.
The basic material of the lattimo glass head, the pink eyes...

Shop Mid-Century Modern Busts, Neoclassical Busts and More
The presence of vintage and antique bust sculptures can add a necessary decorative layer to any interior. And just because a statue looks classical doesn't mean it has to be conventional.
A touch of whimsy, a dose of drama — a single bust can alter a room. And when placed in just the right spot, these statues can almost feel alive.
“They give humanity in a way that a more abstract sculpture can’t give,” says Los Angeles designer Timothy Corrigan, who loves pieces that beg to be touched. For a welcoming entry hall project in California, Corrigan selected an antique Persian rug and a bust that invites you to touch it. A collection of sculptures in wood, marble and brass complement the star of the show.
For Consort cofounder and creative director Mat Sanders, a bust doesn’t have to be pretty. “I most enjoy busts that are a little busted,” Sanders jokes — but choose something with a soul you can live with, as “sculpture representative of the human form carries with it an energy you will add to the space.”
The antique and vintage bust sculptures for sale on 1stDibs include Art Deco busts, mid-century modern busts and more.
