1960s snail paperweight, crafted in the Murano style. Its playful silhouette is formed from clear bubble-infused glass with a gleaming, golden head and antennae - an eye-catching combination of organic form and glamorous finish.

The stylized snail is a hallmark of mid-century Murano-inspired artistry, reminiscent of pieces by Alfredo Barbini, Archimede Seguso, and Formia Murano. With its sculptural curves and air-trap bubbles, the shell glistens under light, while the gold-tone upper gives it a luxe, jewel-like presence.
