Mixed-Media Upcycled Glass Bottle Assemblage Sculpture

This item is a tall, vertical assemblage sculpture constructed primarily from upcycled and found glass materials. Standing approximately 24 to 30 inches in height, the central core is a large clear glass vessel, possibly a spirit bottle, which has been densely filled or encrusted with a variety of colorful translucent elements including marbles, glass beads, and smaller glass fragments in vibrant hues of teal, cobalt blue, emerald green, and amber. Radiating from the central nexus are several smaller glass bottles and cylindrical tubes, all heavily embellished with light-refracting textures and internal glitters or pigments. The top of the sculpture is surmounted by what appears to be a small white ceramic or plastic bird figure perched on a dark, flat plateau, adding a whimsical narrative element. The construction is multifaceted, utilizing adhesives or resins to fuse the disparate glass components together. The lighting suggests internal illumination or high reflectivity, highlighting the 'folk-art' or 'outsider art' style of the piece. While no maker's mark is visible in the low-resolution image, the craftsmanship reflects a highly personalized, hand-crafted aesthetic typical of contemporary found-object art from the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears complex; while the glass components are mostly intact, the dense application of ornaments makes it prone to dust accumulation and potential loosening of adhesive over time.
