Bring Venetian artistry and timeless grace into your collection with this vintage Murano art glass elephant sculpture, a breathtaking creation by the legendary Licio Zanetti, one of Murano’s most revered glassmasters. Handcrafted in the famed Zanetti Vetreria Artistica on the island of Murano, Italy, this exquisite piece captures the elegance, balance, and brilliance of mid-century Italian design. Standing an impressive 16 inches tall and weighing approximately 11 pounds, this radiant glass elephant rises on one leg atop a crystal sphere, an image of both strength and lightness. The base features the intricate bullicante technique—controlled air bubbles suspended perfectly within the glass—creating a mesmerizing effect as light passes through. Every curve, from the outstretched trunk to the sculpted ears and dynamic stance, showcases the artisan precision and sculptural grace that define Murano’s finest works. Marked with the authentic Zanetti Murano foil label and the etched signature Vetri Murano VM, this sculpture represents not just craftsmanship, but legacy. The clear, flawless glass refracts light with remarkable purity, embodying both luxury and symbolism—the elephant, an emblem of wisdom, good fortune, and prosperity, rendered here in the most luminous of materials. In excellent vintage condition, free from chips or cracks, this commanding work of art is a tribute to Licio Zanetti’s mastery and Murano’s centuries-old glassmaking tradition. Whether displayed as the centerpiece of a collection or as a statement of refined taste in a modern interior, it radiates prestige, history, and Italian excellence.
