Murano - Fles - Muranoglas - Originele Murano-schildpad

This huge Murano glass turtle in part of my personal collection. In 2007 I was a guest at the Venice Gritti Palace Hotel, where I visited the San Marco galerie on the Island of Murano, where I bought it together with many other works of art. My company at that time had an emblem of an elephant and a turtle, representing our ethos of not leaving anyone behind, and a guarantee to a long and prosperous life.
Through out the years I grew my collection, but by now I'm persuing other activities, and would like to sell it. The last time I visited the island of Murano was in 2023, where I learned that a smaller version of my turtle, only 40x40cm in size was on sale there for 40 thousand euros. I also found out that the artist, who to my best knowledge was called Umberto has since passed, making my turtle one of a kind, as it has never been replicated at that scale.
Since the 2020 Corona virus outbreak Venice is in a gas shortage, meaning they had to stop the production of large scale Murano glass sculptures, this has not changed since. If you not only want to admire a beautiful work of art day to day, but also want to invest with good return I can only recommend it.
I can undertake any form of shipment with insurance, after payment, based on what we agree on.
If you have any other questions, I'm happy to answer them.
