A luminous blue-to-violet core rises from a clear domed base filled with controlled bullicante bubbles—an identifying feature of Seguso’s work.

The elongated body, arched tail, and refined proportions capture the dynamic motion characteristic of his 1950s–60s animal series. The rare blue-purple colorway enhances visual depth and distinguishes it from more common amber or ruby versions.

Note: Measures 15.5 inches long. Hand-formed Murano glass attributed to Archimede Seguso, Italy, circa 1955–1965.
