Large hand-blown Murano handblown art glass dolphin sculpture by Archimede Seguso featuring a stylized dolphin riding on a splashing wave. One of the fins had chipped off but has been sanded down and is not noticeable.
Archimede Seguso (born 1909– died 1999) was one of the 20th century’s master Venetian glassmakers. He was a key figure in surviving and reviving traditional glassblowing techniques in Murano, Italy. Original in his designs yet consistently mindful of the legacy of glassmaking, Seguso crafted a timelessly tantalizing array of glass pieces throughout his career.
