Artisan Red Blown Glass Butterfly Pendant

This item is a handcrafted butterfly-shaped pendant made of translucent cherry-red blown glass. The piece measures approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in width and demonstrates classical lampworking or furnace-blown glass techniques. The glass exhibits a rich, saturation-heavy red hue with subtle variations in translucency, particularly around the scalloped edges of the wings which show a slight golden-amber transition, suggesting a heat-sensitive or dichroic treatment. The body consists of two fused glass sections, creating a multi-dimensional layered effect. The surface is polished and smooth with no visible chips or fractures, appearing in excellent contemporary condition. It is suspended from a polished silver-toned metal bail which is threaded onto a black waxed cotton or synthetic cord. The bail features a simple, modern tension design. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures, which is common for artisanal boutique glasswork from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship is high, evidenced by the symmetrical wing silhouettes and the lack of internal air bubbles or impurities within the glass melt.
