Murano 60s Salviati Art Glass Colors w Helix Colors Swirls Abstract Sculpture

Description: Murano 60s Artist Luciano Salviati Art Glass Colors w Helix Rainbow Swirls - Mulitcolored Striped Art Glass / Abstract Sculpture on Large Pedestal. Truly a beautiful piece with the appearance of constant movement from all sides. Looks different from any angle, never gets boring, it's a very clever design! Forgive the photos, this is much nicer in person. The homeowner was a serious antique collector most of his life. He had many excellent rare finds. He lived in Switzerland for many years before retiring here in the US. In my researching these colorful Murano MCM pieces, I discovered it required serious skill to produce actual 'movement in glass'. Don't be fooled by its apparent simplicity: creating this twisted shape requires speed, precision and great knowledge of ancient Murano glass techniques. Especially the huge-thick hand-blown base. The more 'modern' knockoffs present pieces with a thin 'square' glass base, easily attached to the bottom without the all-important lifetime Murano skill, making this a true piece of art sculpture. The sturdy solid glass base supports the sculpture and gives additional light to the entire composition. Its multi-colors are due to the chalcedony technique. The coloring effect is obtained by adding a mixture of different metal oxides to the molten glass. The results are remarkable. Handmade in Murano, following the ancient techniques of Murano glass. Many Murano of the 50's & 60s had an attached label placed on the bottom, but most have disappeared with cleaning/washing & time. The true signature of authenticity is the HUGE clear base that is incredibly difficult to reproduce. Only skilled hands created the beautiful bubbled hand-blown hefty-bottom. Most cheaply created glass sculpture today have a square thin flat-base in place, not nearly as heavy or beautiful. This is seriously heavy & substantial. I have found some that are somewhat similar, that sold for $450 (without this movement & quality). Condition is Used/Pre-Owned in excellent shape with great colors! Only minor wear as expected with age, nothing serious absolutely lovely sculpture! **Dimensions: 16" Tall x 7" W x 1 1/2" Depth No returns expected so please refer to photos for further questions.
