Romano Dona - Glass Artist (Murano)

Huge (Just over 2ft tall) vase of blue cased in clear in the form of a semi-naked woman. The lower half is etched, with cut decoration suggesting the outline of a dress. The upper half has been hotworked to create breasts, navel, and the collarbone.

Designed in the late 1990s by Romano Dona for Vetreria Stefano Toso.

I just picked up this amazing murano glass aquarium sculpture and need everyone's help to ID the artist and  company or studio - terms of how it was made. It is approx 20plus lbs -and 11" inches and just a magnificent work. Thanks to all in advance for you're knowledge - time and efforts. rbjr

I will check that out - thank you.

Definitely Donà. I've never been so keen on these aquariums, but his work is always to the very highest quality - I've a few of his more sculptural pieces for the Gino Cenedese and Stefano Toso glassworks.

Thanks so much - one question. What glassworks was this aquarium for?

Thanks for everyone's help to ID the artist on this murano aquarium. You all are great... Take Care. Rbjr

What does the acid-etched mark say? Looks like it reads 'MURANITH Murano Venezia'... but I've never heard of a Muranith so presumably it's a retailer rather than the manufacturer.

Glassworks was probably Stefano Toso - Donà did a few different aquarium sculptures for them.
