A striking kneeling horse sculpture crafted in the millefiori (murrine) technique, likely from Murano, Italy, late 20th century. The body is composed of tightly packed cane slices that create a tapestry of color and pattern from every angle. The pose—forelegs bent, head gently bowed—adds elegance and movement, while the glasswork shows crisp canes, clean polish, and confident modeling. A vibrant, collectible statement for shelves, consoles, and vitrines.

Attributed to: Murano, Italy (late 20th century). Millefiori / murrine with hot-worked sculptural forming. Hand-blown art glass. Excellent vintage condition. Minor shelf wear to base; no chips, cracks, or repairs observed.

Murano millefiori animals have been produced by multiple furnaces and studios; this example shows the dense murrine layout and polished finish associated with late-20th-century Murano work. Unsigned. Attribution based on technique, materials, and style.
Display on a travertine pedestal, stacked art books, or within a glass cabinet. Pairs beautifully with clear sommerso pieces or brass accents.
