Vintage Lead Crystal Swan Figurine on Pedestal Base

This item is a decorative lead crystal figurine fashioned in the form of a graceful swan resting on an integrated pedestal base. The piece is constructed from high-quality clear glass, likely 24% lead crystal given its clarity and refraction under light. The swan features a long, slender S-curved neck and a hollowed body with vertical flute-molding that mimics stylized feathers. The neck and head are solid glass, expertly pulled and shaped. The piece stands on a circular faceted foot which is permanently fused to a thick, flush square plinth base, providing stability. This design is highly characteristic of 20th-century European crystal manufacturers, such as those found in Czech or West German glassworks from the 1970s to 1990s. The craftsmanship is evident in the seamless transition between the molded body and the hand-finished neck. There are no visible maker’s marks or signatures in the image, though silver foil labels (common for this type of decor) may have been removed. The item appears to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips, flea bites, or cracks. The glass maintains a high brilliance without cloudiness or internal ‘sickness,’ though some light surface scratches may be present on the underside of the base due to contact with surfaces.
