Mid-Century Modern Bullicante Art Glass Owl Figurine

This is a heavy, solid art glass figurine depicting a stylized owl, likely of mid-20th-century origin. The piece is crafted using the 'bullicante' technique, characterized by a controlled pattern of uniform air bubbles trapped within the glass. The glass displays a warm, rich amber-to-crimson gradient at its core, encased in a thick layer of clear crystal. The owl's form features two prominent pointed tufts or ears at the top and large, applied circular glass eyes with indented centers that create a haunting, reflective gaze. The base appears to be ground flat for stability. Stylistically, this piece strongly resembles the work of Murano glassmakers from the 1950s or 1960s, such as Archimede Seguso or Mandruzzato, or possibly Scandinavian makers like Royal Krona. The craftsmanship is high, with excellent clarity and symmetry in the bubble distribution. No immediate cracks or chips are visible, though minor surface scratches on the base are expected for an object of this age. The heavy weight and organic yet geometric form are hallmark characteristics of collectible MCM glass art.
