Murano Style Art Glass Rooster Figurine

This is a hand-blown art glass figurine depicting a stylized rooster, measuring approximately 8 to 10 inches in height. The piece is crafted using a combination of techniques, featuring a vibrant red glass for the comb and wattles, and a body showcasing a tortoise-shell or 'macchie' pattern with black spots suspended within a honey-amber or golden-yellow glass matrix. The 'macchia' effect is characteristic of Italian mid-century glassmaking. The neck and tail feathers integrate clear glass with vertical black streaks, leading to three distinct, sweeping tail plumes. The craftsmanship is indicative of Murano workshops, such as those of Archimede Seguso or V. Nason & C., likely dating to the mid-20th century (1950s-1970s). The glass displays high clarity and fluid lines, with a polished pontil mark likely residing on the base. No visible cracks or chips are apparent in the image, suggesting the item has been well-preserved with only minor shelf wear consistent with age. The lack of a visible signature or label is common for export pieces from this era.
