Murano-Style Hand-Blown Art Glass Rabbit Figurine

This item is a decorative hand-blown art glass figurine depicting a seated rabbit, likely produced in the mid-to-late 20th century. The piece features a complex color palette with a vibrant emerald green core cased in a thick layer of clear crystal glass. One side of the body displays an elegant, undulating 'sommerso' effect with a smoky taupe or amber-tinted swirl. The rabbit is executed in a stylized, minimalist form characteristic of Murano or Scandinavian art glass traditions. It includes long, pulled clear glass ears and small clear glass paws at the base. The construction shows high-quality craftsmanship, evidenced by the smooth, fire-polished finish and the distinct internal color banding. The base appears to be ground flat for stability, showing a slight matte texture which is typical of authentic hand-blown pieces. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image, but the weight and clarity suggest a lead crystal composition. The item appears to be in very good condition with no visible chips or cracks, though close inspection of the base for 'shelf wear' scratches would be necessary for a full appraisal.
