This sculptural masterpiece features a massive, hand-blown Murano glass shade characterized by a mesmerizing "pulegoso" effect—a technique that infuses the glass with thousands of tiny air bubbles to create a dense, celestial texture. The glass transitions from a rich, creamy opaline at the crown to a translucent, smoky amber at the base, evoking the atmospheric glow of a planetary body. The fixture is anchored by a substantial polished brass hardware assembly, which provides a warm, sophisticated contrast to the ethereal qualities of the glass. When illuminated, the inner bubbles diffuse light in a soft, multidimensional radiance, transforming any interior into a gallery-like setting. This rare, oversized specimen is not merely a light source but a significant work of mid-century Italian art glass, perfectly preserved to serve as a dramatic focal point in a high-end modernist residence or commercial space. It's in excellent condition and in working order. See less
