...how Sci-fi futuristic Murano do you want to go? ;-)

...cool, low profiled, sleek, slippery with a metamorphosis of expanding bubbles, this wonderfully unique and rare silhouette from Murano craftsman is something out of the future with a real surreal reptilian-like Sci-fi edge.

I must say I have never come across a form quite like this with it's curious reptilian twin-lobed detailing on such a lean low shell and it adds a new type of unique form to a collection.....not only that, it's bubble detailing is superb and at its core beneath the blood-red main shell, burns a lean casing of arctic blue which gives it another dimension as the hue fids purchase within the details now and then.

...an older piece circa 1950/55 and spanning 25cm's cm's long, this piece is all lucid seamless organics - almost as if a shell from a prehistoric herbivore.....it's platter like form is nicely dense though as it pulls into those wonderfully Sci-fi lobes...

...the injected bubbles or "Bullicante" grow in size to the point that they are very large through the rim, giving the piece another dimension - very cool!

...the shell runs through tangerine to blood-red but at the foot glows a arctic-ice casing that you get a glimpse of when it reflects up through the lower bubbles.

...just a very curious unique and beautifully surreal Murano form - in lovely vintage condition with some age-related scratches and an impossible to see slither-chip on the underside of a lobe - very hard to see even when looking at it directly and definitely has no affect what-so-ever when on display......and displays like a dream!!!

...good luck and don't forget to check out my other mid-century glass auctions!
