Huge Ermanno Nason Vintage Mid-Century Italian Blue Murano Glass Fish Sculpture

About the Item

Huge, stunning, rare and vintage midcentury centrepiece glass sculpture by Ermanno Nason (1928-2013) for Cenedese of Murano, Venice, Italy, somewhere between the years 1965-1972. An absolutely stunning piece of Mid-Century Murano glass by one of the best glass makers of his generation - Wonderful, curved free-standing fish (koi carp) sculpture captured in opaque light blue with a dark ocean blue undertone and clear glass applications. Would be perfect as a stand alone sculpture or desk object / paperweight or as a bookend for example. A rare opportunity to be the new custodian and owner of this rare and beautiful Murano glass sculpture which is, in our opinion, a real museum piece.
