Art Glass Penguin Figurine

This item is an art glass figurine depicting a stylized penguin, predominantly crafted from vibrant cobalt blue and clear glass. The penguin's body has an elegant, rounded form, tapering gracefully towards the head, which is fashioned from clear glass, creating a visually appealing contrast with the deep blue torso. Inside the lower half of the blue body, a detailed scene is encased: two smaller, white and yellow-bellied penguins with black accents are depicted standing amidst what appears to be a snowy or icy landscape, characterized by textured white glass. This internal artistry gives the impression of a miniature winter wonderland suspended within the larger glass form. The craftsmanship suggests it is a hand-blown or lamp-worked piece, showcasing the intricate skill involved in manipulating molten glass to achieve both color and internal detail. The surface appears smooth and glossy, indicative of polished glass without any immediately visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The base is somewhat obscured by the lace tablecloth, but it seems to be flattened to allow for stable display. There are no obvious maker's marks or signatures discernible from the image. Its style suggests it could be a contemporary or mid-20th century decorative art piece, likely intended as an ornamental object or collectible. The quality of the internal detail and the seamless integration of colors and forms point to a good level of craftsmanship.
