Iridescent Clear Hippopotamus Head

Handcrafted from solid transparent crystal glass, this sculpture portrays the head of a hippopotamus powerfully emerging from the water. The water itself is rendered as a base of solid glass, creating a seamless illusion of motion and depth that enhances the lifelike presence of the animal.

Its surface is delicately coated with iridescent black glass powders, producing a mesmerizing play of rainbow reflections that evoke the shimmering light on rippling water. Each detail, sculpted by master Murano artisans, reflects generations of refined technique and artistic passion.

A contemporary interpretation of Murano’s long tradition of glass animals, this piece embodies both calm strength and timeless elegance. Perfect as a statement work in sophisticated interiors, it radiates quiet power and exquisite craftsmanship.
