Extraordinary 1950's Murano Cenedese by Barbini Aquarium Glass Sculpture

Extraordinary 1950's Murano Cenedese by Barbini Aquarium Glass Sculpture with unusual blue bottom. 6 1/2" x 8" x 2 (16.5cm x 20cm x 5cm) 8lbs. The fish and their fins are excellent examples of the meticulous and highly coveted aquariums produced by Barbini's collaboration with Cenedese during the late 1950's. Pieces in this good of a condition are very, very rare. It is likely between 70-120 years old.

It is not in brand new condition, unless I specifically state that it is. Therefore, there is going to be normal surface wear commensurate with an item that has likely changed hands several times. I take many pictures and I urge you to study them carefully. I will be more than happy to provide additional photos upon request.

They are what they are. Your item will be professionally packaged in new bubble wrap and peanuts, if necessary, in a hard cardboard box.
