Lovely slender five-arm brass structure exquisitely crafted in typical Arredoluce manner. From each arm hangs a large hand blown and heavily textured drop-shaped glass body like an ethereal fruit. These glasses which are studded with countless glass shards were obviously produced in very limited numbers as this is the only known specimen. Beautiful original condition with just minimal patina on the deep hued brass. Stamped “Made in Italy / Arredoluce, Monza” on the brass centerpiece.
