A trio of vintage lampworked glass figurines, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The collection features three distinct subjects: a humanoid musician, a stylised dog, and a mythical creature. The musician figure is crafted from translucent green glass, depicted in a dynamic pose playing a lute or banjo with a red neck and orange body. This figure features white-tipped pointed shoes and headgear, reminiscent of a jester or mythical being. The second figurine is a stylised clear glass dog with long, floppy brown ears, a bulbous red nose, and black eyes, echoing mid-century cartoon aesthetics. The third piece is a clear and green glass mythical creature, possibly a hippocampus or pegasus variant, featuring a green mane, chest frills, and a curled tail. Each piece is manufactured using the lampworking or flameworking technique, involving the sculpting of glass rods over a torch. No maker’s marks, factory stamps, or signatures are visible on any of the figurines.
Condition report:
The figurines appear to be in good overall condition. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or visible professional repairs. The fine and fragile extremities characteristic of lampworked glass appear to be intact across all three pieces.
