Murano Style Millefiori and Aventurine Glass Angelfish Figurine

This is a hand-blown art glass figurine depicting an angelfish, crafted in the tradition of Murano glassware. The sculpture is characterized by its heavy clear glass encasement (sommerso technique) which surrounds a vibrant interior core. The core features a dense application of multicolored 'millefiori' canes (thousand flowers) in shades of blue, red, yellow, and white, interspersed with shimmering copper-toned aventurine flecks that provide a gold-stone metallic sparkle. The fish is sculpted with a tall, curved dorsal fin, a prominent tail fin, and lower pelvic fins, all rendered in smooth, translucent clear glass. The construction shows skilled lampworking and glass-blowing techniques, evident in the seamless integration of the fins to the body. While no specific maker's mark or signature is visible in the image, the style is highly indicative of mid-to-late 20th-century Italian glasswork from Venice. Physically, the piece appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips, cracks, or deep scratches; however, there are characteristic internal air bubbles (seeds) common in artisanal glass. The craftsmanship is of high quality, demonstrating a sophisticated use of internal decorative elements to create a sense of oceanic depth and movement.
