Sculptural Italian art glass gives this vintage Murano sailfish bowl a dramatic Mid-Century Modern presence. A blue-teal fish with a long pointed bill rises beside a large amber-gold fan-shaped fin forming a fluted bowl. The figure stands on a lotus-shaped amber and clear glass base, creating a striking nautical composition.
Handmade in Venice, Italy during the 1950s-1960s, this glossy piece uses the Sommerso technique associated with layered color in Italian glassmaking. Measuring approximately 10 inches tall and 8 inches across, the decorative form combines a sailfish figure with an ashtray, trinket bowl, or candy dish function.
This pre-owned piece has a chip with a jagged broken edge on the fish's tail, as shown in the photographs. Please review all photographs carefully for overall condition, chip, measurements, glass colors, fluted rim, base, and details before purchasing.
