For your consideration is a Paul Counts handblown art glass sculpture. This looks like a teapot without a lid. Reminds me of a Macaroni Penguin. There are many applied pieces, the handle, the spout and a couple of pieces under the handle, the top and the bottom. Bright yellow adorns the top and bottom. The handle is a gold color. The spout starts off clear and then has an overlay of brown and white which makes it look like a beak or trunk. Under the handle has two applied pieces. One could be a tail and the larger one under the handle looks like a snail or a butterfly. The overall color is a brown and black with splotches of white. This is a decorative piece as it does not work as a pot. The spout has no hole. On the bottom you can see where is was cut off from the glass showing it was hand blown. There is a sharp edge to the applied brown black spout. Do not know if it happened when made or if it broke off. This is a heavy piece. Measures 12 1/2" tall to the top of the handle and is 9 1/2" from tip of spout to the handle edge. A very unique piece that will add to your collection.
Thanks for looking. Check my other listing for more vintage, antique, collectibles, clothing, fabric and more.
