Murano glass bird.
£40.00
This is a vintage Murano glass bird figurine, likely designed by Dino Martens for Fratelli Toso or Aureliano Toso in the 1950s.
The figurine features black and white "filigrana" (filigree) canes, which are thin glass rods, encased in clear glass. The beak and eyes are applied black glass.
The piece is often described as being in the style of Dino Martens, as many pieces from this era are unmarked.
