This elegant vintage art glass bird sculpture is a striking example of hand-blown studio glass craftsmanship. The form features a dramatically elongated, hand-pulled amber tail, an opalescent white body with delicately combed pale blue feathering, and a sculptural, flower-form base with rich amber glass pooling and clear lobed accents.
The glasswork shows clear evidence of free-hand production, including controlled thickness variation, smooth color transitions, and individually shaped applied elements. The feather detailing is formed within the glass rather than surface painted, and the base construction is consistent with higher-quality studio art glass rather than mass-produced décor pieces.
Its tall, sculptural presence makes it an exceptional display piece for Hollywood Regency, eclectic, maximalist, or curated art glass interiors.
