Designed by Gabriella Crespi between 1970 and 1974, this sculpture of a boar belongs to her whimsical Small Animals series— a celebration of nature rendered through precious materials and refined forms. Cast using the lost- wax technique and crafted by Barovier & Toso between Milan and Murano, the piece combines gilded metal with a luminous Murano glass egg delicately nestled within its body. The designer’s signature graces the underside of the base, a quiet testament to Crespi’s artistry and unique vision.
