This is a true collector's item for lovers of post-war Murano glasswork! This Murano glass shark is in excellent, near-mint condition, with its "vetreria artistica maestri vetrai Murano Italy" label intact—a miracle of preservation considering it dates from the 1960s!

This Post-Modern style, transparent, anthracite gray shark is spectacular: its slender, expressionist form evokes the raw character of the marine predator it is: it is in a hunting posture, ready to catch its prey, all frozen in the crystalline blown glass, shaped and molded entirely by hand, according to the ancestral techniques of the Murano islands and their glass artisans.

Its sculptural form offers sublime transparency and light effects. Perfect for a contemporary seaside interior, this glass sculpture is much more than a decorative object; it's a historical piece of decorative object design from a post-war era, when a return to imagination and new ideas shaped the future of the Italian design market, particularly for glass works from the island of Murano.

Passionates of Murano glass sculptures, zoomorphic design, or postmodern style, don't wait any longer! Adopt this blown Murano glass shark now.
Excellent overall condition with tag, very near new condition.
