Mid-Century Art Glass Swan Centerpiece Bowl

This item is a decorative art glass centerpiece bowl formed in the stylized shape of a swan. The piece is constructed from thick, hand-stretched glass, characteristic of the mid-20th-century art glass movement. It features a translucent moss green or olive green tint that shifts in saturation throughout the body. The design includes a long, elegantly arched neck ending in a simplified head and beak, while the body flares out into a wide, ruffled, or 'free-form' bowl that suggests wings and tail feathers. The glass shows internal striations and small air bubbles (seeds), indicative of hand-blown production rather than machine pressing. The base appears to be thick and polished, though no specific maker's mark is visible in this view. The style is highly reminiscent of Murano (Venetian) glass from the 1950s or 1960s, or perhaps Sooner or Chalet glass. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible sediment or cloudiness in the bottom of the bowl, likely from hard water deposits or long-term stagnant water use as a planter. There are no obvious cracks or large chips visible on the neck or rim, which are the most vulnerable areas for this type of glassware.
