Alessandro Pianon (Italian, 1931-1964), Pulcino Glass Sculpture, c. 1960, for Vistosi, 'U' shape green glass body, with internal applied murrines in blue and red, with millefiori glass eyes, raised up on copper wire feet, height 12.20 in.
- Murrine - A murrine is created by building up a cane or rod of glass, by plunging the rod into a coloured glass, and then into a shaped dip mould, and repeating this procedure using different coloured glasses to build up a variety of layers. When the dipping is complete a longer cane is created by stretching the glass, and once cooled, can be cut, and the pattern will be revealed in the cross-section.
