The Green Watcher
Murano Glassworks
- DESCRIPTION
- The owl has been one of Murano's most enduring figurative subjects since the early 20th century. This example, in deep forest green with amber flanks and wings worked in clear, is a piece of quiet mastery: the rounded volumes of the body require the glassblower to hold and shape a large, even gather, while the facial details are applied as individual elements of coloured rod.
