Aquarium — Murano Glass Sculpture
This is Murano showing off. A solid block of crystal, and inside it — suspended, impossibly — a shoal of coloured fish. The technique is called sommerso, "submerged": the fish are formed first, then drowned in layer after layer of clear molten glass until they float in the middle of a transparent stone.

It is one of the most difficult things the island makes. The glass must be built up slowly and evenly, because a single bubble or a cooling crack ruins weeks of work. Hold it to a window and the fish seem to move. Nineteen centimetres of pure Venetian showmanship.
Sculpted by hand on the island of Murano, Venice by masters heir to seven centuries of glassmaking. Explore our full Murano glass animal sculptures or find the perfect gift. Each piece arrives with a certificate of authenticity and fully insured worldwide shipping. Questions? Get in touch.
