Pair of 1930's Black Murano Glass & Gold Figures of Arabian Horses

Description

A Fabulous Pair of Black Murano Glass & Gold Splashed Figures of Arabian Horses Each figure is formed as a rearing horse with an arched neck, raised foreleg, and grounded hind legs, presented in mirrored orientation. The bodies are modeled in solid black glass with a smooth surface and a continuous contour from head to tail. The manes are rendered in a textured form, rising in ridged segments along the crest of the neck. The tails extend downward and outward, terminating in a flared shape with a granular gold inclusion. The hooves are slightly rounded and rest directly on a flat surface without an added base. Applied glass elements form the bridles, wrapping across the muzzle and around the neck. Gold inclusions appear throughout the mane and tail, dispersed as fine particles within the glass matrix. The pair is Murano glass production. Murano workshops are known for controlled glass forming and the integration of metallic inclusions within the material. Murano glassmaking involves shaping molten glass and introducing metallic elements during formation. The black glass bodies require uniform temperature control to maintain consistency, while the gold inclusions are distributed during the hot working process. The modeled symmetry, consistent proportions, and stable construction across both figures indicate coordinated production. The condition, matched execution, and preservation of surface finish support strong quality and market value.
