Murano-Style Multi-Color Splash Glass Swan Bowl

This decorative art glass piece is a stylized swan-shaped bowl, likely produced in the mid-to-late 20th century, echoing the aesthetic of Murano glass from Italy. The item features a high-contrast design consisting of a solid black, elegantly curved glass neck and head, accented with an aventurine-style gold and orange bill. The body of the swan acts as a vessel or bowl, characterized by a 'splash' or 'end-of-day' glass technique. This technique incorporates a base of opaque white glass mixed with translucent light blue, amber, and deep green splashes, further enhanced by shimmering gold aventurine flecks. The bowl showcases a soft ribbed or scalloped texture along its exterior walls, suggesting it was hand-blown and formed. Standing approximately six to eight inches tall, the craftsmanship is evident in the fluid transition between the solid black neck and the variegated body. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy abrasions, though minor shelf wear on the base is expected. The playful caricature-like eye adds a whimsical mid-century touch common in decorative animal figurines from European glass houses.
