This piece is a sculptural and iconic work of Modernariato (Space Age) design, estimated to date back to the 1970s/1980s.

Subject and Style: Sculptural, abstract, and organic (biomorphic) design. The shape resembles a star, an underwater creature (such as a stylized manta ray), or a spaceship. It is a visually striking statement piece, typical of midcentury design.

Material and Finish: Crafted from heavy, solid glass. The decoration is created using the complex "Sommerso" technique, which incorporates layers of color (red, blue, and green) within the thick, transparent glass (cristallo). The finish is glossy and brilliant.

Base: The sculpture rests on a solid, heavy star-shaped base (as pictured), made from solid glass with a textured finish (such as bark or ice), ensuring perfect stability.

Ideal for Murano glass collectors, lovers of Space Age design, or as a focal piece (given its large 49 cm size) for a modern decor.
