Arnaldo Zanella, “Pelican Sculpture”

A striking Murano glass pelican by Arnaldo Zanella, crafted for Zanetti Murano. The sculpture captures the bird in a poised, resting position with wings folded and its long red beak extending forward. Executed with delicate detail and smooth opaque surfaces, it reflects the Venetian tradition of animal sculptures while highlighting Zanella’s elegant, stylized approach.
