Heavy hand-blown art glass with controlled bubble inclusions and beautifully sculptural rounded forms, capturing the playful elegance of Italian studio glass from the Mid-Century period.
This rare vintage glass bear sculpture is a highly decorative example of Murano-style studio glass, combining warm amber transparency with vivid ruby red overlays in a softly rounded modernist form.
The figure is crafted from substantial heavy glass and displays numerous controlled air bubbles throughout the body — a classic decorative technique associated with Italian art glass traditions. The semi-transparent limbs and luminous body create exceptional reflections and depth depending on the surrounding light.
Its expressive proportions and stylized silhouette give the piece both playful charm and sculptural presence, making it ideal for collectors of Murano glass, studio glass, or unusual animal sculptures. See less
