Limited Edition Signed Glass Piece by MARIO BROGI

This is a large stunning mid-century modern blown glass penguin (looks like a dolphin to me) crafted by Italian artist Mario Brogi. The piece is signed and numbered (limited edition 770/1400). The piece is really heavy. Mario Brogi, along with his brother Franco, established the Vilca Crystalworks in Colle di Val d'Elsa in 1958. Today the company operates as COLLEVILCA, with both brothers' children continuing the tradition of crystal art glass making and merging the company with COLLE crystal.
