Murano-Style Amber and Yellow Hand-Blown Art Glass Swan

The swan is one of the most demanding subjects in art glass, requiring the glassmaker to capture the graceful curve of the neck and the spread of the wings in a medium that must be worked quickly and decisively, and this hand-blown amber and yellow example, at 32 cm tall, achieves that challenge with considerable elegance.

Hand-blown in the Murano style in the 20th century, this art glass swan features warm amber and yellow tones distributed through the glass body, the colours shifting beautifully in natural light as the piece is viewed from different angles. The swan form, with its characteristic curved neck and spread wings, is rendered with the naturalistic confidence that distinguishes accomplished Murano-style glasswork, and the scale, at 32 cm tall and 15 cm wide, gives the piece a genuine decorative presence. The warm amber and yellow palette connects this piece directly to the horn vase in the grouping, making the two a natural display pairing.
