This highly decorative Italian art glass sculpture features an elegant elongated neck with red, white, and cobalt blue latticino striping, flowing seamlessly into a densely patterned millefiori body.
The technical complexity of this piece is particularly notable. Each small floral/star-like motif embedded within the body was created using fused glass cane sections (murrine), a labor-intensive Venetian glassmaking technique requiring precise heat control and careful shaping during the blowing process. The consistency of the pattern across the curved form demonstrates a high level of craftsmanship.
The swan rests on a clear sculptural base infused with shimmering aventurine-style gold flecks, adding warmth and luminosity when displayed under light. Its patriotic palette of cobalt blue, white, and ruby red makes it especially eye-catching and less commonly encountered than traditional multicolor Murano examples.
A beautiful statement piece for Hollywood Regency, Italian Modern, eclectic, or collector-focused interiors.
