This remarkable pair of mid-century modernist Murano glass bird sculptures represents the enduring artistry of Luciano Gaspari, one of Italy's most renowned 20th-century designers, created for the esteemed glass manufacturer Salviati. Dating to circa 1960, these sculptures are a quintessential example of innovative Murano glass design during the mid-century era.
Each bird is expertly hand-blown and features a striking spiraled glass design, creating a dynamic sense of movement and fluidity. The spiraling effect showcases the incredible precision and technical mastery involved in their creation, emphasizing the inherent elegance of glass as a medium.
The birds are crafted with translucent amber hued glass with transparent bases featuring a dart of amber glass serving as a point of focus, providing an interplay of textures that enhances their sculptural presence.
These sculptures bear the etched signature of Luciano Gaspari on the undersurface, cementing their authenticity and significance as collectible works of art. Produced by Salviati, a historic Venetian glassmaker celebrated for its pioneering designs and collaborations, these pieces also carry the heritage of Italy's prestigious glassmaking tradition.
Whether displayed as centerpieces, on shelves, or as part of a curated collection, these graceful birds exude sophistication and artistic excellence. Signed "Luciano Gaspari for Salviati" on the undersurface denoting the maker. Styling brilliant in a wide array of spaces and settings from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors, these sculptures are in Excellent Vintage Condition.
