This incredible Sea Fan has a small flaw on the lower interior of the piece, and because of that, this work is a second.  The flaw is invisible from most angles of viewing and all but invisible on direct inspection -- where there is a very small area of slight roughness on the lower interior.  It barely registered on the interior detail image as some small sparkles(bottom photo), but it is there.  It is not jagged or pronounced.   It should not be a consideration in evaluation of the overall beauty of the piece -- which is exceptional both in Nowak's choice of elements and particularly voluptuous shaping.   However, this tiny blemish  does keep the piece from being fully "first quality" (and a $5K price tag).  Does not affect structural integrity of the piece at all.   Both the exterior and the shaping of this piece are particularly fine, with different but complementary personalities on either side of the piece. One side in cool blues and greens with a radial orb of gold adding warmth and counterpoint.  The other side is warm reds and violets, with a deep burgundy flattened orb that sets off a profusion of Murini and twisted canes.  Depending on how it is displayed, the look and mood of the piece will vary greatly...   The shaping has a wonderful natural billowing quality, it is very spontaneous and not at all stiff or static, it has the inherent  motion that is the hallmark of Nowak's best work.   Despite the flaw, I would venture to say overall this is a gorgeous example of one of Nowak's most iconic forms, and we are offering it at a very favorable fixed price.    Keep in mind because this is a second, it will not have Nowak's name signature evident, but the piece IS signed directly by Nowak as follows: "Sea Fan, 07"   PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE EBAY "ME" PAGE (link above) BEFORE YOU BID.
