Art Glass Bluebird Figurine with Silver Foil and Murrine Accents

This decorative item is a hand-blown art glass bird figurine, likely mid-to-late 20th century, measuring approximately 4-5 inches in length. The piece is constructed from bright cerulean blue translucent glass. The body features an internal layer of shimmering silver foil (sommerso style), which is embellished with organic, multi-colored murrine or glass frit inclusions in shades of black and amber brown. The figurine displays a stylized, round chest, a short pointed beak, and a long, broad, flattened tail that has vertical texture resembling feathers. The craftsmanship is indicative of Murano or Scandinavian (such as Flygsfors) influences, characterized by smooth, fluid lines and polished surfaces. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy scratches; there is a slight transparency to the blue glass through the head and tail. No maker's mark is visible in the photograph, but the quality of the glass and the sophisticated use of foil suggest a studio art production rather than mass manufacture. The flat base provides stability for display.
