Hand-Blown Miniature Glass Bird Figurine

This item is a small, hand-blown miniature glass figurine depicting a stylized bird, possibly a rooster or fantasy fowl. The piece is constructed from clear lampworked glass with vibrant color accents applied during the molten stage. The head features a prominent red glass comb with three distinct points and a bright yellow bifurcated beak that remains open in a 'chirping' expression. The eyes are created with applied opaque white glass dots centered by black pupils, giving it a whimsical, cartoonish appearance. The clear glass body is decorated with internal and surface-applied streaks of orange and red, providing a sense of depth and movement. It stands on two clear, flat glass feet that are fused to the base of the body. Given the style and technique, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century to the present day and is indicative of mass-produced decorative glass work often found in Murano-style or boutique gift shops. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The glass maintains a high gloss finish, though some minor internal striations and bubbles are present, which are characteristic of hand-blown artisan glass rather than machine-made optics.
