Double sommerso Seguso or Barbini art glass duck with thick gold

There are some who don't appreciate Murano figurines. I too, was sceptical about Murano ducks, until a spotter we used in Sydney some years ago (an elderly Venetian immigrant), showed us one her husband had bought for her when Murano glass first ...
