Archimede Seguso Purple & Pink Sommerso Glass Duck / Swan

Description

This is a magnificent 1950/60's Venetian sculptural glass duck or swan, made on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy. In a stunning combination of purple glass cased in pink glass, which is further encased in clear glass, using the sommerso technique. This piece was made by Archimede Seguso. It is unmarked, but I have has the same design before [click here], which had their well known scalloped label on the base. There is a slight difference in the design to the ducks feet, but another labelled example with the same style feet can be seen in a Murano glass Facebook group [click here].
