Italian Murano Art Glass Set of Birds

Set of TWO fabulous vintage art glass bird figurines from mid-century Italy. They are in perfect condition, no chips, no cracks, no scratches.

These were very popular in the 1950’s. Although this pair does not have labels still attached, we have another (sold separately) iridescent blue bird with label that reads – Genuine Venetian Glass Made in Murano, Italy – .

The inner colored glass casings of both birds have an iridescent glimmer. The orange crane is 8.5″ tall. The green swan like bird is 8″ tall. Both solid cased glass, hand blown. Solid glass base, nose, crown and eyes applied. Lovely specimens!

    Magnificent Blown Cranberry Glass Fish

    Fantastic hand-blown Bohemian cranberry glass striking fish

    It’s a lunker!!! Huge art glass fish measures 21″ long, weighs almost 5 lbs. This prize catch was made of high quality glass, hand-blown by a skilled artist. The pink glass is called “cranberry”. Cranberry glass is achieved by adding real gold to the glass recipe. The cranberry glass is encased in a thick layer of colorless glass. Blowing two colors of glass together is called ‘Sommerso’.

    The tail, five fins and solid black eyes were formed separately, then applied to the fish body. The open mouth is beveled and polished. The mouth and tail area are slightly darker, this is due to the pink glass being thicker at those points.

    There are no inclusions in the fine glass. The blower managed to produce this giant with no errors (very difficult with hand blown glass). The glass is smooth and brilliantly translucent.

    The interior is hollow. It is a stunning decor focal point, but much too precious to put water inside for flowers (it would be difficult and dangerous to dry the hollow center). Shown with a large blown glass goldfish bowl to help show its enormous size. This is the largest blown fish we’ve seen to date.

    Fish vessels were popular in the mid-20th century. We have spotted another fish just like this with a ‘Bohemian’ sticker still attached. Made in the Czech countries. In excellent condition.
