Hand-Blown Art Glass Calla Lily Sculpture

This is a hand-blown art glass lily, characterized by a long, slender, opaque white stem that transitions into a vibrant, multi-colored floral bloom. The sculpture measures approximately 14 to 18 inches in length. The flower head features a complex infusion of colors including swirls of cobalt blue, yellow, and soft pink, encased within a clear glass layer that forms delicate, outward-curving petals. This technique suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century craftsmanship style, often associated with Murano or similar high-quality studio glass traditions. The stem has a slight organic curvature, indicating it was hand-pulled rather than molded. Notable features include the smooth fire-polished finish and the intricate 'latticino' or swirl patterns within the blossom. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or fleabites on the delicate petal edges or the base of the stem. There are no immediate signs of a maker's mark or signature visible in the photograph, though such pieces are sometimes signed near the blossom or have an etched signature on the stem base. The quality of the glass is high, showing consistent transparency in the clear sections and deep, saturated pigments in the colored floral elements.
