A refined Murano art glass sculpture showcasing an elegant interplay of smoky amethyst tones and milky white glass, masterfully formed into a dynamic ribbon composition. The piece rises from a solid crystal base, enhancing both its visual lightness and architectural presence.

Executed in the sommerso technique, the layered glass creates depth and subtle tonal transitions, while the fluid curves evoke movement and organic growth. The central white core contrasts beautifully with the darker outer ribbons, giving the sculpture a sense of inner luminosity.

This type of sculptural form is characteristic of Italian Murano glass workshops from the 1970s–1980s, influenced by designers such as Flavio Poli, Seguso, or Mandruzzato ateliers, where controlled asymmetry and purity of line defined modern glass art.

Both decorative and collectible, this piece functions as a standalone sculptural object, ideal for refined interiors, collectors of Murano glass, or gallery-style display. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
