Vintage Murano Art Glass Bird Figurine - V. Nason & C.
Vintage Murano Art Glass Bird Figurine — V. Nason & C.
From the storied glasshouses of Murano, this hand-blown bird figurine by V. Nason & C. is a masterwork of the Bullicante technique — a method in which controlled air bubbles are trapped within the glass to create a shimmering, textured depth. The smoky grey, topaz, and amber tones of the Fumato palette give the piece a brooding, atmospheric quality that is entirely its own. Weighing 854g, this is a substantial and commanding object — part of the celebrated “Murano Zoo” tradition of figural glass, produced between 1970 and 1985. A significant collector’s piece from one of Italy’s most revered glass-making traditions.
