About the Item

Murano or Scandinavian blown-glass paperweight or decorative egg sculpture. The Technique: The white, radiating bursts stretching from the base are created using an incluse or controlled air-bubble and cane technique (often called a "sea urchin," "dandelion puff," or "fountain" effect). White glass powder or fine canes are drawn into a burst pattern, while trapped air bubbles are deliberately injected to create the floating droplets. .This is a substantial size, indicating it is likely a freestanding desktop art object or paperweight. Potential Makers: This specific teardrop/egg silhouette with controlled internal fountain textures was highly popular in mid-20th-century art glass workshops, notably by Murano workshops (Italy) like Effetre or Fratelli Toso, or Scandinavian factories (Sweden/Finland) like Kosta Boda or Riihimäki.
