Murano Style Hand-Blown Glass Oriental Geisha Figurine with Aventurine Inclusions

This is a hand-blown artisanal glass figurine depicting a stylized Oriental figure, likely a geisha or lady in traditional attire. The piece features a complex construction of clear, solid black, and vibrant red glass. A significant portion of the body is crafted using the 'aventurine' technique, which incorporates copper-colored metallic flakes or powders into the molten glass to create a shimmering, golden-brown 'goldstone' effect. The figure is topped with a broad, flat, circular hat in opaque black glass, beneath which sits a clear glass head and a decorative red scarf or collar accent. The body is formed from a single, gracefully curved swirl of clear glass encasing the internal metallic swirls, terminating in a solid clear base. The craftsmanship suggests mid-20th-century Murano glassmaking traditions, possibly by makers such as Seguso or Archimede Seguso, though no maker's mark is visible in the photograph. The surface appears to be in excellent condition with high clarity, no visible fractures, and a polished finish. The piece stands approximately 6 to 8 inches tall and serves as a fine example of mid-century modern figurative glass art.
