Viartec Murano Style Neodymium Lilac / Blue Spanish Glass Horn Sculpture

Product Number: WS13194

 Sold / Reference 

Description

Here is a magnificent large 1950/60's Murano style Spanish freeform lilac / blue glass stag horn shaped sculpture. Made from neodymium glass (also known as alexandrite glass), which changes colour according to different lighting conditions.  It appears lilac in natural sunlight or yellow artificial light, and smoky blue in fluorescent/white light (see pictures). This is due to the presence of neodymium oxide (Nd²O³) in the glass.

Made by Viartec THF. Multiple examples from this range can be found online with labels that read "Viartec Hand Made in Spain".

Size

Measures approx 8.25 inches tall by 15 inches in diameter at widest point.

Condition

Excellent condition, no chips or cracks, just a small dull patch to the edge of the base rim, where a tiny chip may have been ground out, shown in final pictures. This is actually very common with these sculptures, and therefore probably done at the factory. There are also a couple of faint surface scratches, mentioned for accuracy.
