HI Doughbo1
This is a very nice example of a Murano Fish in a typical diving pose mounted on a water effect base. The gold you refer to is known as tutto oro (Gold infused) where 24 carat gold foil in laid on a Marva (working table) and a plod of glass is rolled across it so the gold adheres to the glass. Then when the glass is blown and manipulated, the gold disintegrates giving you the dispersion effect.

It's a great looking piece. Does it have a signature on any of the feet?
Nice colors and size.
In my opinion the base is indicative of a modern piece.

only 5 lovers for this masterpiece , his eyes are almost like as a of mortification, it is far superior to the normal seguso eyes,the swirling is nice as relief and also for the floating perception ( the so called buoyancy)
and the tonality is superb , nice balance, haven,t looked for the dating pedestall looks good , occures in dino martens ware, to worn out to search and not enough skilled, and who gives a F..., , if you can,t see this is quality , you need a blind cane, but i am arrogant
