An extraordinary and monumental Murano art glass vase in the form of a stylised cat, paying clear homage to Picasso’s playful sculptural aesthetic. Hand-blown on the island of Murano, this remarkable piece showcases advanced glass techniques, with layers of amber, cranberry, white and black glass fused into a bold, asymmetric form. The cat’s expressive face features applied glass elements for the nose, whiskers and eye, while the flowing body is adorned with abstract mottled patterns and sweeping ribbons of colour. The scale, complexity, and sculptural presence are exceptional, making this a true statement piece for a contemporary or eclectic interior. Dimensions approx.: 28cm high x 20cm wide x 17cm deep. Made in Murano, Italy.
