It also has 2 spots on the legs that look to be polished down a little bit, so it could have been restored, or done right after it was made. Small nick to the tail. Hard to tell when displayed. less

Beautiful, and large, vintage Murano hand blown Sommerso light blue over cobalt blue Italian art glass giraffe figure sculpture. The piece is documented to the Salviati company, circa 1960s. It is published in "The Glass Ark" book on Murano glass animals. The piece has a well detailed head, with floppy ears and "ossicones" (the parts that look like horns on the head). The body itself is very minimalistic and streamline. The giraffe is also made with some Uranium / UV reactive glass, as It glows neon green under a black light (see photo). Would make a great display piece on any desk, credenza or side table. Mid-century era. Measures 11 1/8" tall x 5 1/4" long x 2 1/2" wde.
Literature:
The Glass Ark, Animals in the Pierre Rosenberg Collection. Page 207, illustration 461.
The giraffe shown has the Salviati label.
