Clear Glass Hummingbird Figurine

This is a small, decorative figurine depicting a hummingbird in flight, mounted on an integrated glass base. The piece is constructed entirely from transparent, colorless glass or lead crystal. Its physical characteristics include a rounded body with outspread wings that feature molded, scalloped edges to simulate plumage and feathers. The tail flares out at the bottom to provide a stable, weighted base for the ornament. The material exhibits high clarity and light refraction, typical of mid-to-late 20th-century decorative pressed or molded glass. Its style is consistent with collectibles produced by manufacturers like Princess House or similar giftware brands from the 1970s to 1990s. The craftsmanship shows smooth contours on the head and body, contrasted with the textured, ribbed pattern on the wings and tail. Regarding condition, the piece appears to be in good structural order with no visible cracks or large chips in the main body, though the base edge might present minor shelf wear or microscopic flea bites typical of age. No specific maker’s marks or signatures are visible in the photograph, but the high-gloss finish suggests a machine-molded process followed by fire-polishing to remove mold seams. The design captures a dynamic pose with wings uplifted, creating an elegant silhouette.
