Description
Pink Opaline Murano Art Glass Bird Figurine
Sweet pink opaline bird art glass figurine in the launching position. Made in Italy. Date unknown. Estimated circa 1950 to 1980.
Possibly by Seguso in the 1950’s -1970’s. Seguso was well-known for pink opaline glass. Pino Signoretto and Arnaldo Zanella (Italian Masters) create glass art today much like this with the Vetreria Artistica OBALL label. Unable to positively identify either way. Research continues.
In perfect condition with light bottom wear. Cased with creamy pink and colorless glass. Hand-made. Couple tiny trapped air-bubbles within the glass (usually found in hand-made glass objects). The wings and the body are drawn from the same gather. The beak was applied to the body and the ‘feet’ base is applied with a wafer knop between the feet and the body.
Beautiful Italian glass art bird figurine in lift-off motion. Measures 4½” tall, 6½” long, and 4″ at widest. Weighs 1 lb.[color-box]More About Italian, Murano, Venetian Glass[/color-box]
