This work is a celebrated creation by master Antonio Da Ros for the Cenedese factory, estimated to date back to the 1970s.

Subject and Style: Sculptural and minimalist design, typical of Da Ros. The shape is triangular, organic, and massive, with three "horns" or points that serve as supports. The object plays on the thick walls and the refractions of light in the glass.

Material and Finish: Crafted from heavy, solid glass. The decoration is created with the complex "Sommerso" technique, which incorporates a core of intense blue/azure within the thick layer of transparent glass (crystal).

Base: The base rests firmly on the three lower vertices of the sculpture, as per the original design, ensuring perfect stability.

Ideal for collectors of Murano glass, designs by Cenedese and Antonio Da Ros, or as a sculptural statement piece for a mid-century decor.
