Lampwork Murano Glass Bear Aqua Gold Fish

Authentic Murano Glass Lampwork. Lampworkers in Murano are 3rd and 4th generation in this field, taught by their fathers. The technique differs from bead making in that no mandrel is used, rather the animal or object is made right from the cane. They work with larger size canes and magically produce incredible fantasy objects. This clever bear has a small fish inside with a bit of a smile on his face. The size is approximately 60mm or about 2 1/2 Inches tall and about 40mm across. The feet and the long tail support it standing. The body is clear Murano glass, and yes there will be bubbles, after all you would expect some indigestion if you swallowed a whole fish! The accenting color is transparent aqua.
