Every inch of this sculpture celebrates centuries of Italian craftsmanship. To create this magnificent waterfowl, a master glassblower meticulously fused hundreds of individual mosaic murrine glass canes into a seamless, vibrant body. Sweeping, colorful striations drape around the duck’s lower chest, mimicking the graceful movement of water currents.
The duck’s solid clear-glass head and bill are infused with rich 24k gold leaf flecks (aventurine technique), catching the light from every angle to radiate a warm, luxurious glow. Complete with tiny, expressive teal-blue glass eyes, this charming yet highly sophisticated piece transitions beautifully between a high-end collector's paperweight and a striking center display sculpture.
