Aldo Bon Murano Red & Amber Sommerso Glass Fish Figurine

Description

Here is a wonderful Venetian glass fish sculpture, made on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy. In a stunning combination of red glass encased in amber glass, which is further encased in clear glass, using the Venetian developed sommerso technique. Made by the Vetreria Artigiana Aldo Bon factory, unmarked, but I have had this exact same design in the past that still had the original factory label, which read "Murano, A Bon" (contact me for pictures). This glassworks was setup by Aldo Bon and Adriano Quarisa in 1960, and was apparently only open for a short time. Aldo Bon was previously a master glassblower at Aureliano Toso where he produced designs by Dino Martens.
