RARE Heavy Pair of Blue Sommerso Art Glass Dolphin Sculptures on Crystal Wave Base – Murano Style 14-15cm This is an exceptional and substantial collection of two matching vintage art glass dolphin sculptures, highly evocative of the prestigious Italian Murano tradition. Each dolphin is meticulously crafted using the signature Sommerso (submerged) technique, where a core of intensely vibrant cobalt blue glass is fully encased in thick, crystal-clear glass, creating stunning visual depth and refraction. These impressive pieces are presented dramatically, appearing to leap from a heavily sculptured glass base designed to resemble crashing waves or crystal water splashes. The dolphins are likely hand-blown, evidenced by the unique small, natural air bubbles visible in the glass. The sheer weight and detailed craftsmanship suggest a superior quality product. Given the demanding Sommerso technique, the colour palette, and the elaborate form, we confidently estimate an approximately 70% likelihood that these pieces originated from a Murano or Murano-trained Venetian workshop. However, due to the absence of original paper labels or signature etchings on the smooth, polished base Diameter 12 cm, they are presented as Murano Style. Dimensions and Weight Each figure stands 14-15 cm high and is remarkably heavy, weighing approx 580 g individually. Condition:: Excellent vintage condition. This magnificent set is a must-have for serious collectors of high-quality Italian or Mid-Century Modern glass art.
