Speckled glass fish SCULPTURE

This vibrant glass fish sculpture is a striking example of mid-century Eastern European craft. First produced experimentally in the 1960s at the Târgu Mureș Glass Factory in Romania, these fish gained popularity despite initial resistance from their creators. Made by fusing a layer of colorless glass with freely applied splashes of colored glass and finished with another clear layer, each piece is hand-blown and uniquely patterned.

Though often mistaken for Murano glass, their true origin lies in the industrial heritage of the Eastern Bloc. By the 1970s, they had become some of the most sought-after decorative objects across Romania and beyond - and a beloved presence in Hungarian households. Today, they remain a nostalgic and widely recognized piece of Hungarian material culture.

A vivid, storied accent object - playful, memorable, and unmistakably individual.
