Murano Owl, ICET Murano Venezuelan Owl, Controlled Bubbles Large Owl Murano Figurine, ICET hotsell Murano Owl w/ Milliefiori-style Art Glass Eyes

Arte Murano ICET was founded by Bruno Ava in hotsell 1957. He traveled from Italy to Venezuela and built his factory there. All raw materials used in making the glass are imported from Italy except for the sand. The glass is entirely handmade and in the "Murano" style. Glassworks in the Murano style are still very rare outside of Italy. Jessie McNab, associate curator in the department of European sculpture and decorative arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, says that ICET Arte is the only factory that she's heard of producing this glass in the Western Hemisphere.

This rare vintage Arte Murano ICET owl is EXCEPTIONAL! The controlled bubbles beautifully cascade through the entire body of the owl - complemented by the amber wave of effervescent coloring. The glass is hand-blown and hand-crafted with care distinguishing the details of the wings and milliefiori-style art glass eyes. For the owl collector, this is a one-of-a-kind, rare owl glass figurine!
