A beautifully decorative pair of Venetian Glass Company “Toffolo” dancing couple figures, executed in richly coloured Murano style art glass with elegant theatrical costume detailing.

This striking duo features a gentleman and lady in flowing period dress, hand-formed in vibrant sky blue, amber, white and green glass with exaggerated hats, ruffled sleeves and stylised poses.

The figures stand upon amber-toned bases and display the flamboyant sculptural quality associated with Venetian studio glass production.

The craftsmanship combines opaque and translucent glass elements with intricate applied detailing throughout, creating highly expressive decorative pieces ideal for display in a mid century, Italian, or theatrical interior setting.

A wonderfully eye-catching pair of collectible Venetian art glass figures with strong Murano influence and superb colour contrast.
