Original, hand-blown, and sculpted Murano glass sculpture with metal and wood structure.
Signed on verso of the sculpture.

Murano glass art is a type of glassmaking that originated on the island of Murano in Venice, Italy, in the 13th century. It is known for its beautiful colors, intricate patterns, and unique techniques. All pieces are sculpted freehand while the glass is hot. Smaller-scale pieces are typically solid glass, and larger-scale pieces are blown glass. With the glass on the blowpipe, Alexis uses tools to shape it. Blown glass pieces are shaped from the inside as well as the outside piece.
