Description
Murano Glass Mid-century Seguso Sommerso Duck Set
This style of sommerso duck is an icon of Archimede Seguso. Made in the 1950’s in Murano, Italy.
Offered as a full set of three. (1) reaching duck (1) leaning duck (1) perching duck. Very unusual to find as a set. Set of three. Price reflects irreversible light film of calcium deposits on their feet and tails. The calcium isn’t apparent unless studied closely. These fine ducks would display nicely anywhere, the calcium deposits are light.
The calcium deposit on two of the ducks feet and all three tails is hard to see as it is a uniform and shallow “veil”. More visible is the calcium deposits on the feet. This duck has white deposits showing, on its feet only. No chips or cracks. Bottom-wear present on polished flat bases.
Reaching duck is 10″ tall, leaning duck is 7.5″ tall, perching duck is 7.75″ tall. Each weigh 2 lbs, 6 lbs total weight.
These big, beautiful vintage Murano ducks were blown by hand in sommerso (two colors blown together). Normal price today runs 125.00 to 200.00 each.
