Description
A stunning Scandinavian full lead crystal glass tortoise sculpture. Made by Marcolin Art Crystal (formerly FM Konstglas) of Ronneby, Sweden. Signed to base "Marcolin, Sweden, M77.120". Designed by Josef Marcolin, pattern number M77. Josef and his brother Benito founded FM Konstglas in 1961. The feathered bubble effect is usually referred to as "sfumato", which in glass terms means a gradual change of shade, however it has recently been discovered that the correct term would be "fumato", which means "smoked", a technique which involves exposing the glass to smoke from a fire, to give the glass a smoky colour by picking up particles of unburnt ember and ash from the smoke. This has been confirmed on a Swedish glass forum [here], where a glassblower who worked for FM Konstglas/Marcolin, described the technique they used, involving smoke, to create this effect.Please note: the plastic stand is for display purposes only and is not included.
