| Product description |
|
This exquisitely designed swan figurine speaks of feminine elegance and timeless beauty . With its long curving neck and graceful posture, this swan projects calmness and peace. The swirls of rich colors decorating its body combined with translucent glass of its neck and the seafoam-blue color of its wings showcase taste and a sense of style. This beautiful glass swan will create a nice accent in any room and will bring a glimpse of Venice to your home or office.
The swan measures 4 ¼ inches tall and 2 ¼ inches wide.
Festooned Glass swan is a part of Festooned Thread Figurines Collection. The beautiful garland-like decoration was adopted in Murano at the end of the 17th century, though it was used on glass as far back as the 2nd millennium AC. To produce the festooned motif Murano glassmakers employ a complicated technique called 'fenicio' (Phoenician), in which the glassworker wraps the incandescent glass threads with a thin pontil, or "speo", and then while the object is still hot, he combs the threads with a hooked tool, called a "maneretta". The result is a remarkable pattern that is classic, eye-catching and inimitable.
Because each item is a unique work of art made by hand, slight variations of colors and patterns are possible. |
