Vintage Venetian / Murano art glass sculpture of a fish in clear, lilac - grey and gold glass. Made in Italy, 1940-60.<br>
Fabulous sense of movement in this figure of a fish, as he sweeps his tail up in a swooshing curve above his head. Fins extended - the clear glass almost looks spikey, but it's rolling colums echo the roundness of the controlled air bubbles
that constitute much of the patterned decoration of the fish. The lilac-grey glass is ruffled from within and pulled as it sweeps up the tail, adding to the sense of movement. Gold flecks contrast beautifully with the grey.
COndition is very good. No chips/cracks/damage.
