Swarovski Animal Figurine Appraisal

Swarovski Crystal Tiger Figurines

This set features a pair of faceted lead crystal tiger figurines, likely from the Swarovski Silver Crystal collection. The larger tiger is depicted in a prowling or walking stance, while the smaller cub stands nearby. Both pieces are crafted from high-quality Golden Shine or Amber-toned crystal, which provides a warm, honey-colored hue that mimics a tiger's pelt. The construction utilizes multi-faceted crystal blocks for the bodies, head, and limbs, expertly joined together to create a light-refracting surface. The tails are made of slender, curved crystal pieces. Notable features include the precision of the facet cuts which are typical of Swarovski's high manufacturing standards, and the clear crystal accents used for the paws and certain facial details. While the swan logo trademark is difficult to see without a macro lens, it would typically be laser-etched on the base or underside of a rear paw. The items appear to be in excellent condition with no visible chips, flea bites, or repairs, maintaining a brilliant luster. These pieces likely date from the late 1990s to the early 2010s, reflecting the stylized geometric naturalism popularized by the brand during that period. The presence of the original mirrored display base adds to the presentation, though the pens shown are for scale only. The craftsmanship is characterized by sharp edges and high clarity, indicating premium collectibles.
