Positioned atop a glass base with an enchanting range of colors, the turtle appears to glide through water with its outstretched amber flippers. The turtle's shell and body are a soothing shade of aquatic blue, streaked through with glimmering marbled patterns. An exceptional work of art, particularly suitable to nautical or coastal decorative schemes.

Italian artist Dino Rosin was born in Venice in 1948 and raised on the island of Murano, famous for its glass blowing tradition. Rosin left formal schooling to pursue glass blowing at the age of 12. His older brother Loredano Rosin was also a prolific glass artist in Murano, and Dino Rosin joined his workshop in 1975. The Rosin brothers are credited with rediscovering the secrets of Calcedonia glass, a Murano tradition that had been lost for nearly 500 years.
