Crafted from hand-blown Murano glass in a rich amber-yellow hue, it features a central circular hub from which eight gracefully curved, lobe-like arms radiate outward in a starburst or floral formation—evoking a stylized flower or sunburst.

Each arm is a smooth, translucent blown-glass form, gently tapering and curving downward, ending in open cup-shaped diffusers that hold the light bulbs (sockets visible with small metallic fittings). The glass has a warm, honeyed amber tone with subtle variations in depth and translucency, characteristic of authentic Murano craftsmanship. A single central ceiling mount point is visible, confirming its flush/semi-flush design—ideal for lower ceilings while providing dramatic, sculptural presence.

The piece combines Mid-Century Modern influences with organic, almost atomic-age aesthetics, reminiscent of medusa od sputnik styles popular in Italian lighting. No visible maker's label or signature in the photos, but the quality of the blown glass, color, and form strongly points to Venetian/Murano production. See less
