Start price: £20

Estimated price: £20 - £40

Buyer's Premium: 20%

A hand-blown art glass figurine fashioned in the form of a bird, likely representing a wren or similar small avian species. The piece is constructed with a rounded body, a short pointed beak, and a sharply upturned, tapered tail. The interior is decorated with a vibrant cobalt blue swirl and white ribbon inclusions, further enhanced by fine gold-tone metallic aventurine flecks throughout the core, all encased in a thick layer of clear lead glass. The base features a rough, circular pontil mark from the glassblowing process, and shows typical surface wear consistent with age and use. No maker’s signatures, labels, or etched marks are present.
