A cheerful yet refined character piece by glass artist Armando Jacobino, made for Kumela in Riihimäki, Finland. This heavy, solid glass duck features a dark violet cone-shaped body, a clear head with expressive eyes and a sculpted white beak, and a black-violet beret perched on top — equal parts modern art and cartoon charm.
Free-blown and hand-shaped, this piece reflects the expressive craftsmanship Kumela was known for in the 1980s. The weight and clarity of the glass, along with the bold colour combination, make this a standout decorative object with a quiet sense of humour.

His pieces often combine strong colours, playful forms, and precision in craftsmanship — this duck being a prime example.
