Viartec Murano Style Spanish Red & White Neodymium Glass Sculpture

Product Number: WS11869

 Sold / Reference 

Description

Here is a magnificent large 1950/60's Murano style Spanish freeform glass sculpture. In a stunning combination of red and white speckled glass encased in lilac / smoky blue glass. The outer layer is made in very unusual and quite rare 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 11 inches tall by 6.5 inches in diameter at widest point.

Condition

Has a few shallow nibbles to the base rim, shown in final pictures.
