A Delightful Mid-Century Glass Bird
This charming sculpture depicts a bird, crafted from vibrant glass. The body exhibits a warm, amber hue reminiscent of Vaseline glass, while the head and breast are a striking black. The piece is likely of Finnish origin, potentially from the renowned glassworks of iittala, known for their mid-century modern designs. The form is sleek and stylized, capturing the essence of avian grace in a minimalist aesthetic.

This piece would appeal to collectors of Scandinavian glass, mid-century modern art, or those with an appreciation for unique and colourful decorative objects. Its vibrant colour and elegant form make it a captivating addition to any collection or display.
