This vintage Murano Glass Duck sculpture is a mid-century Venetian art glass masterpiece crafted in the famous Formia studio. Now closed, Formia was a major art glass company on Murano island since 1962, where many prominent Murano Glass artists of the 20th century had a chance to polish their skills and shape their artistic vision. Formia quickly gained fame for its beautiful and unique pieces, including many animals and birds.This Murano Glass duck sculpture with flowing forms and transparent glass design reflects major art trends of the 20th century, such as art nouveau and art deco. The elegant duck features an exceptional translucency accented by milky-white lines throughout its body created using a now-rare Filigrana glass-making technique which was in wide use on Murano in the centuries past. This elegant Murano bird is a fine reminder of Venice and a symbol of affection and fidelity.
