This Vintage Murano Glass White Swan with controlled bubbles throughout is a rare and exquisite piece of art that exudes elegance and sophistication. This stunning swan is a true masterpiece of mid-century Italian craftsmanship and design. It was handmade in the 1950s on the famous island of Murano, Italy, possibly by Alfredo Barbini who is known for this style and design of bird sculptures. The swan's body is made from opaque white glass shimmering with 24K gold leaf, which is adorned with controlled air bubbles, a design known as Bullicante. This adds depth and dimension to the piece, giving it a truly unique look.

This Vintage Murano Glass Swan is a must-have for collectors of fine art glass or those who appreciate the beauty and intricacy of handcrafted objects. It is perfect for display in a living room, bedroom, or office, adding a touch of sophistication and glamour to any space.

The white Bullicante Swan looks even better in person than the photographs can relay. When you hold this Venetian figurine in your hands, you can feel the weight and quality of the glass, which has stood the test of time and remains in excellent condition. Its vintage appeal makes it a truly special and rare find and a great addition to any art glass collection.

Workmanship



Larger Murano Glass figures and sculptures are typically made in the ancient factories on Murano island, where there is enough space to turn, twist, and blow the glass, move it into and out of the large furnaces, and cool it down properly. Making the glass mixture with the right color intensity and pattern is only a part of the job. The biggest challenge is shaping the glass just perfectly while keeping it in the correct state in between the bench and the furnace. This requires special skills rarely found outside of Murano Glass artist and artisan community. These Murano Glass sculptures of lovers, abstract art, and animals crafted in well-known Murano factories are top-quality art glass pieces sought after by interior decor specialists and collectors alike.
