The Watcher Calcedonio

The Watcher by Zanetti is a Murano glass sculpture in rare Calcedonio, bringing quiet authority and character to sophisticated interiors.

Standing tall and resolute, The Watcher embodies strength and presence in hand-blown Murano glass. Crafted in Italy using the rare Calcedonio technique, its surface is alive with swirling patterns of colour that make every sculpture entirely unique. The squared form and stoic expression give it the aura of a timeless guardian, reflecting the mastery of Venetian glassmaking.

Inspired by the famous moai of Rapa Nui, these sculptures reinterpret the monumental human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people between 1250 and 1500 CE. Known for their distinctive elongated features and imposing presence, the original moai are monolithic stone figures that represent an enduring legacy of Rapa Nui culture and craftsmanship.

Display The Watcher on a console, sideboard, pedestal or other prominent surface where its strong silhouette can anchor the setting. It can also be displayed alongside The Dreamer and The Seer, creating a distinctive trio within a curated collection of Murano glass sculptures.

Zanetti Murano is an Italian glass studio from Murano, Venice, with four generations of glassmaking heritage dating back to 1956. Maestro Oscar Zanetti was born into this tradition and began working with glass at 14, later refining his craft at renowned Murano ateliers including Venini and La Murrina before joining the family workshop.

Inspired by his enduring interest in the natural world, Oscar Zanetti creates handcrafted Murano glass sculptures drawn from the flora and fauna of the Venetian Lagoon. From horses and birds to fish, animals and abstract forms, each piece is shaped by hand using traditional blown and solid glass techniques. In India, Zanetti Murano was launched by Spacio, bringing Oscar Zanetti's distinctive glass artistry to Indian interiors.
