This heavy, solid-sculpted piece stands an impressive  9 1/4" tall  and weighs nearly 5 pounds. It features a beautiful  Sommerso  execution where a soft, translucent peach-pink core layer is captured beautifully inside a thick body of clear lead crystal. The stylized, modernist silhouette captures an elephant with its trunk swept upward into a graceful, elegant curl—a traditional symbol of triumph and good fortune. The flat, polished base displays the clear remnants of a factory label footprint along with the hand-etched script signature:  "Seguso A.V."  (Seguso Arte Vetro). Dimensions:  Measures approximately  9 1/4" tall ,  6 1/2" long , and  4 1/4" wide . Weight:  4 pounds, 13 ounces. Condition:   Excellent vintage condition.  The glass body is brilliantly clear with excellent light refraction. There are  absolutely no chips, cracks, deep scratches, or repairs  anywhere along the fragile trunk, ears, or tail. The underside shows expected light, microscopic shelf scuffs on the polished ring consistent with age and display. An exceptional addition for collectors of Seguso or fine Venetian glass animal figurines. 🇮🇹 About the Maker & Rarity Dynamics Born in Murano in 1930,  Livio Seguso  is globally acclaimed as a true pioneer of modern glass sculpture. After working alongside legendary masters at the  Alfredo Barbini  workshops, he achieved the rank of Maestro and co-founded  Seguso Arte Vetro (A.V.)  in the late 1950s. His pieces are noted for moving away from traditional ornate glass styles into sleek, organic, fluid forms that treat glass as pure fine art. Why this piece is considered Rare to Scarce: The Seguso A.V. Eras:  Authentically signed "Seguso A.V." items are highly sought after because they represent the classic, golden studio period of the mid-to-late 20th century before the workshop transformed its production models. Keep in mind the shipping price also covers handling fees, packaging materials & time, not just postage. See our eBay store for thousands of our other items. B15 Condition: Used.
