Pair of Ruby Red Pressed Glass Cardinal Figurines

This is a matching pair of decorative cardinal figurines crafted from vibrant ruby red pressed glass. Each piece measures approximately 3 to 4 inches in length and features a solid, semi-translucent glass construction that catches the light brilliantly. The birds are depicted in a seated or perched position, characterized by the iconic pointed crest and short, thick beak representative of the Northern Cardinal species. Detailed feather texture is molded throughout the wings and tails, showing a structured, symmetrical ribbing pattern. The bases appear textured to mimic branches or natural perches. The glass exhibits a rich, deep red saturation consistent with selenium or gold-based glass coloring, typical of mid-20th-century decorative glass makers like Viking, Fenton, or Kanawha. Both figurines show high-quality craftsmanship with smooth mold seams and a high-gloss finish. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant surface scratching. These pieces likely date from the 1960s to 1980s, serving as popular collectibles or seasonal holiday decor. The uniform color and clarity of the glass indicate a well-preserved state with minimal handling wear.
