Murano Smoked Glass Shark Glass Sculpture, 1960s

Sculptural Murano Glass Shark

A striking Italian Murano glass shark sculpture dating from the 1960s. Handcrafted in clear and smoky grey glass, the piece captures the shark in an upward movement, creating a dynamic sculptural composition with a strong sense of fluidity and motion. An identical example with the same dimensions is documented as Italian Murano glass from the 1960s.

Smoked Glass and Fluid Form

The shark is formed with a smoky grey body encased within clear glass, contrasting beautifully with the transparent fins and elongated tail. The sculpted glass base resembles moving water, visually supporting the shark while maintaining the flowing character of the composition.

Italian Glass Design of the 1960s

Produced in Italy during the 1960s, the sculpture reflects the expressive approach to animal forms found in Murano glass production of the period. Its combination of substantial hand-worked glass, transparency and controlled colour creates a decorative object that changes considerably according to the surrounding light.
