This gorgeous Murano Glass Fish is an expression of the artistic genius of the island's glass masters, a creature that is as mysterious, beautiful, and colorful as Venice itself. Layers and ribbons of colorful luminous glass in the dreamy hues of lavender, aquamarine, gold, and amber criss-cross the surface of the fish for a striking look that channels the cool breezes and the sunny glamour of Venetian morning. This fish was carefully crafted by hand in one of Murano's most famous workshops, using only the original methods of Murano glass-making. Authentic and unique, this elegant angel fish will be an instant highlight in any room of your house, bringing Venice's sea-born ambiance and romantic spirit into your home. With its fine design of perfectly sculpted fins and colors that seem to be flowing like Venetian waters, this Fish is a wonderful special occasion gift to romantics, sea-lovers, art glass collectors, or those who appreciate the unique beauty and artistry of Venice.

Measurements: Measurements: This Murano Glass Angel Fish sculpture measures 9-10 inches in width and 7-8 inches in height as measured from the bottom to the tip of the top fin. Depth is about 3 inches. Weight is ~6 lb. The fish is blown (hollow inside) but is still very substantial and quite heavy. It comes very well packaged to avoid damage in transit.

Authenticity: The sculpture is handcrafted by famous Murano masters whose works are featured in museums, private collections, and art galleries worldwide. It features the signature of the master on the bottom, the sticker of the official Murano Glass Consortium, and the certificate of authenticity.

As this sculpture is a unique piece of Murano Glass Art made by hand, some variations of colors and patterns as well as random bubbles inside glass are to be expected. These are not defects but the very signs by which you can recognize authentic Murano Glass.

Sbruffo is a distinctive Murano Glass design, which features rough-surfaces and multiple colors flowing into each other. Sbruffo objects are made by putting layers of colored glass on top of each other streak-by-streak without polishing them, creating an impression of flowing glass. Using multiple colors and unique forms, the masters make tumblers, glasses, vases, bowls, and sculptures with sbruffo designs, which are instantly recognizable as authentic Murano Glass. Only a few Murano Glass factories still create sbruffo art glass objects, and many interior design aficionados, collectors and Murano Glass fans seek these objects of refined beauty and distinct Italian elegance.
