Fortnightly Auctions Of Antiques, Collectables, General Furniture and Effects. New Lots Added Daily.
This lot comprises a large collection of approximately 70 miniature elephant figurines, meticulously crafted using lampwork (flamework) techniques. The assortment features a diverse range of glass types, including clear transparent glass, amber, honey-toned, and smoked glass. Several pieces exhibit vibrant multi-coloured internal decoration, such as tiger-stripe patterns and swirls in shades of red, orange, and blue. The figurines are rendered in various naturalistic and stylised poses, including trumpeting with raised trunks, walking, and seated positions. Many examples include applied white glass details for features such as tusks and ears, and one piece displays a decorative saddle-like pattern. There are no visible manufacturer marks, signatures, or labels on any of the pieces.
Height: 15mm to 65mm.
Condition report:
The collection is in good display condition overall. Due to the extremely delicate nature of lampworked glass, particularly the fine extremities such as trunks, tusks, and tails, some minor chips or losses may be present across the group. No major structural repairs were observed.
