Signed, 24k gold infused, Glass Fish Sculpture by Josef Marcolin, original label

About the Item

Signed, 24k gold infused, Glass Fish Sculpture by Josef Marcolin. In addition to the signature on the bottom, the piece still has both of its original labels as well. In Murano glass work, fine gold dust inside the glass is called gold polveri. Perhaps this term was dropped by Marcolin due to the inclusions being more notable gold flecks rather than gold dust. Josef Marcolin (1933-2015), who originallly lived and was trained as a glassblower in Murano, Italy, moved to Sweden with his brother Benito in 1954. They made beautiful blown glass/crystal sculptures such as this one, which are known for their unique blend of Murano and Swedish style. In 1991 they moved back to Italy and continued to create for a short time under the name Sardinia Crystal. Eventually they parted and moved again, with Josef continuing to create, under the name Marcolin Art Crystal. This gorgeous sculpture is approximately 7 x 6.5 x 2.5 inches. Measurements are approximate. Please be aware that the color on your monitor and/or in your environment may look slightly different than in ours, so color is not guaranteed to be exact. Please also keep in mind that vintage glass usually will show some indication of previous ownership, such as scuffing, scratching, or wear on base. Buyers of vintage glass are presumed to understand and accept such hints of previous ownership. Feel free to send questions if you have any and we will be pleased to respond.
