Black & Clear Murano Glass Asian Sculpture with Conical Hat by Renato Anatra

A striking example of modern Murano artistry, this 8.5" signed sculpture by Renato Anatra is a masterclass in form and restraint. Rendered in deep black and clear Murano glass, the piece depicts a stylized figure donning a conical hat—its minimal lines evoking the timeless elegance of traditional Asian silhouettes. The contrast between the glossy opaque robe and the transparent head and arm invites light to play across its contours, giving the figure an almost meditative presence. Signed R. Anatra, the sculpture is both decorative and poetic—an abstract homage to cultural iconography through the lens of Italian glassmaking. Perfect as a standalone statement or as part of a broader art glass collection, this is a captivating piece that blends heritage with modernity.
