Glittered Reticulated Ceramic Swan Figurine

This item is a decorative swan figurine, approximately 6 to 8 inches in length, featuring an elegant curved neck and a hollow body. The piece is constructed from ceramic or earthenware, finished with a heavy application of white iridescent glitter or sugar-frosting texture that gives it a shimmering, crystalline appearance. A distinguishing characteristic of this figurine is the reticulated or pierced design on the wings and body; these decorative cut-outs are shaped like stylized teardrops and scrolls, arranged in a floral or lace-like pattern. The cut-outs allow light to pass through the piece, suggesting it could potentially function as a tea light holder or luminaria. The craftsmanship reflects a mass-produced decorative style typical of late 20th-century home decor (likely 1980s or 1990s). Regarding condition, the glitter coating appears mostly intact, though there is a visible accumulation of dust within the texture and interior crevices, and minor shedding of the glitter is expected with age. There are no immediate signs of major structural chips or cracks visible in the photograph, though the underside may hold maker's marks or original retail labels not seen here.
