Hand-Blown Glass Chicken Sculpture

This is a hand-blown glass sculpture in the form of a chicken or rooster. The primary body of the chicken is a vibrant, translucent yellow glass, flecked with what appears to be clear or lighter yellow inclusions, creating a speckled or mottled effect. The comb and wattles are rendered in a distinct red glass, while the tail feathers are a rich, opaque blue. The eyes are small blue or black dots set within the yellow head. A black glass element is applied underneath the body, possibly representing feet or a base, though it is quite minimalist. The craftsmanship suggests a folk art or decorative style often associated with Venetian or Murano glass techniques, though without specific maker's marks, its origin cannot be definitively identified from the image alone. The item appears to be in good condition with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant damage visible. Its size is indicated by the presence of a ruler in the background, suggesting it is a relatively small to medium-sized decorative piece, likely intended for display on a shelf or mantel. The overall aesthetic is whimsical and brightly colored, characteristic of certain collectible glass animal figurines from the mid to late 20th century.
