Description
DESCRIPTION: Murano art glass sommerso Hand sculpture in translucent clear glass with Sommerso magenta interior. The hand is facing upwards and is displaying the OK sign or ring gesture performed by joining the thumb and index finger in a circle, and holding the other fingers straight or relaxed away from the palm.
In most English-speaking countries it denotes approval, agreement, and that all is well or "okay". In Naples the gesture has been long used to symbolize love and matrimony, as was custom in neighboring Greece, but specifically with the palm upturned.
With "Handmade Murano Italy" sticker on the underside of the translucent clear base.
CIRCA: Mid 20th Century
ORIGIN: Italy
DIMENSIONS: H: 9 3/4" W: 4"
CONDITION: Good Condition
