Solid Glass Penguin Sculpture - Black & White Striped
Solid Glass Penguin Sculpture - Black & White Striped
Couldn't load pickup availability
A charming hand-shaped glass penguin from the late 20th-century studio glass era, full of personality and beautifully made. The body is formed from solid glass, giving it a pleasing weight in the hand, while the black-and-white stripes create a bold, almost graphic rhythm.
The beak is gently pulled while hot, the surface smooth and glossy, and the base finished with a polished pontil - all signs of skilled, small-scale craftsmanship rather than factory production. It’s playful, modern, and slightly quirky in the best possible way: the kind of little sculpture that instantly warms up a shelf or desk.
A cheerful piece for anyone who loves art glass with character, or simply a tiny companion with great style.
