Art Deco Murano /Venetian glass double figurine of a prancing nude woman and reindeer. Made in Italy. Believed to date to the Art Deco period (2nd quarter of 20th century). Measures almost 9 inches max height; 9 1/2 inches front to back. Stands on a rectangular wooden base. Glass is marbled off-white, clear in the extremities such as fingers and toes, tips of horns and hooves. Two seperate figures prance gleefully - the woman stands on the ball of one foot, the other raised as she dances and runs, her arms thrown up in joy. Her hair flies up as she moves. Alongside her the reindeer echoes her movement - front legs thrown forward casually, back legs and horns arching backwards. The figure is full of movement and joy. Wonderful form and brilliant restraint in the use of only one colour. Clear technical mastery. No signature to be seen. Very good condition - no damage/restoration. Status: For Sale Reference#: 3163 Condition: good Year: 1920 Title: DECO MURANO GLASS FIGURINE NUDE WOMAN + REINDEER
