更多詳情
The first animal sculptures designed by Napoleone Martinuzzi were presented at the XV Biennale in Venice, 1928, where his duck, rabbit and pelican figures were highly praised by Gio Ponti in Domus (February 1929). In these fragile and expressive glass creatures he saw a manifestation of Martinuzzi’s creative talent as a sculptor and designer of glass and bronze works.

The figures were executed in pulegoso glass, pasta vitrea or velato glass with the application of gold foil
