Blown glass fish - Decorative object

Colourful mouth-blown glass fish were a must have in Romanian households until the end of the 1980s. Manufacturing started well before this date and took place mainly in two factories founded in the 1800s and both owed a lot to Murano glass techniques that are believed to have been imported to Romania by a Venetian master glassblower. Older specimens often have a mirrored surface and a strongly sharp mouth. The range of colors and sizes is very wide with a length ranging from 20 to 60 cm.
