Characterized by organic, fluid forms, these fish embody the perfect synthesis of midcentury aesthetics and artisanal rigor.

The pieces are crafted using the renowned Sommerso technique: layers of deep emerald green and smoky shades are immersed in a thick layer of clear crystal glass. This layering creates a magnetic depth and a play of refractions that varies depending on exposure to light.

The slender, dynamic silhouettes are complemented by heat-molded fins, a testament to the master glassmakers' skill in manipulating the incandescent material. Perfect as decorative elements on a console table, a bookcase, or as a centerpiece, these sculptures bring a touch of timeless Venetian elegance and maritime sophistication to any contemporary interior.
