Status: Sold

A large and dramatic hand-blown Murano art glass eagle by Formia (Vetri di Murano), Italy. The bird is captured mid-alight with wings sweeping upward and talons gripping a clear glass rocky outcrop, the body worked in warm honey-toned glass shot through with gold aventurine flecks — the shimmering gold inclusions that are a signature of fine Murano glass. Entirely mouth-blown and hand-sculpted, the piece shows the fluid, spontaneous modeling for which Murano makers are prized, the wings and head drawn out to fine points. A statement decorative sculpture with real scale and presence. Retains the gold foil "Formia — Vetri di Murano — Made in Italy" label. Measures 14 × 15 × 20″.
