Murano Glass artisans have long seen the sea creatures that live in the Venetian Lagoon as a source of inspiration for their artistic endeavors. This Murano Glass Crab is so detailed and realistic, with its rich red color, exquisite claws, and inquisitive eyes. It seems the crab will start crawling off the base the moment you turn away. This Venetian crab is a wonderful unique gift for those fascinated by the sea and those who love Venice and its traditional arts and crafts.

• Measurements: The crab is 2 inches tall and 3-1/2 inches wide.
• This crab sculpture is made by hand in a glassmaking studio on Murano Island in Venice, Italy. It comes with the certificate of authenticity.
• The sculpture is very well packaged to prevent damage in transit.
• Because each Murano Glass figurine is made by hand, no two are exactly alike. Small variations of colors and shapes are possible, this is not a defect but a feature of authentic Murano art glass pieces.

Lampworking is one of the most recognized Murano Glass techniques, which is used by Venetian master artisans to create a variety of Murano glassware such as sculptures, figurines, jewelry and more under a small flame by manipulating special Murano Glass canes and working with basic instruments to achieve elaborate and artistic designs limited only by the artisan's imagination. Making each figurine one at a time, finely crafting every detail, the Venetian masters demonstrate impressive skill and artistic talent, the signature features of authentic Murano Glass.
