Large Vintage Art Glass Bird in Cranberry and Lilac Sommerso
Beautiful vintage art glass bird blown in sommerso (two or more colors blown together). Unusual and beautiful color combination. A soft hue of lilac encases a deep pink cranberry.
Huge bird weighs 5 lbs and measures 16.5″ at longest and 10.25″ at tallest. Hand-blown and formed. Body is solid glass. Head, crown and eyes are applied. Base is polished flat with expected bottom-wear.
Impressive vintage art glass bird figurines like this were displayed in the fashionable homes of the 1950’s to 1960’s. It could be of Italian or Scandinavian make.
In excellent condition. Some tiny unintentional interior air bubbles are present, this is normal in mid-century hand formed glass.
