This is Murano glass. It is a valuable work by Vittorio Costantini. I purchased it at Ginza Wako about 15 years ago. I displayed it in a case for a few months, and then stored it in its box. The other day, I saw it featured on the TV show "Nandemo Kanteidan" and decided to list it for sale, hoping to pass it on to collectors or enthusiasts. Please let me know if you have any questions. Vittorio Costantini (1944 - ) is an Italian artist and flameworker. He creates works using glass to depict fish, birds, insects, and other creatures, and is now globally recognized. Costantini initially reproduced subjects faithfully based on illustrations and reference materials. He then incorporated his own unique techniques and creative ideas, building upon that foundation to produce a variety of works, including insects and expressive birds. #MuranoGlass #VittorioCostantini #LonghornBeetle #WAKO #Wako #Glass #Crystal #Insect #Fish Material: Glass
