Description

This striking figurative sculpture is a superb example of Mid-Century Italian art glass, strongly evoking the distinctive style and high craftsmanship of Murano. The penguin figure is elegantly stylized, crafted from contrasting sections of opaque white opaline glass for the body and rich black glass for the head and base. The smooth, minimalist form and bold color blocking align perfectly with 1960s design sensibilities, making it a sophisticated decorative accent for any contemporary or vintage interior. With its sleek lines and considerable height, this piece commands attention, whether showcased on a modernist cabinet, an executive desk, or integrated into a collector’s vignette. The sculpture remains in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting minor evidence of age-appropriate wear that highlights its authenticity as a beloved period piece. The dimensions are W 6.5" x D 6.2" x H 13.2". Secure this iconic black and white glass figure and bring a touch of playful yet refined Italian design into your living space.
