This is a beautiful art glass owl made of amber glass embellished with gold decoration throughout.  The gold is set in the glass where you cannot feel it on either the interior or exterior walls.  It is smooth to the touch all around.  The gold is done in wide streaks that are at a slight angle.  The eyes look to be applied and the ear tufts are ridged on the tips of the inside to show a little texture with tiny horizontal lines.  The beak is made from the lip being brought down to form what could be the spout of a pitcher.  It is hand blown with a ground pontil.  The quality of the glass especially with the gold embedded in it looks like Murano glass but it is not marked.  I found a couple on line with the same shape but different colored glass that were claimed as Murano but didn't show any marks or stickers.  It measures 6-1/4" tall to the tips of the ears and is about 5" diameter at the base.  The base is heavy so it's very stable.

Thank you for taking a look!  Hopefully you'll check out my other items.  I'm a long term picker who has specialized in antiques and collectibles for over 20 years and look for something a little different, hence the name.  I've been a warehouse and restaurant manager so understand how to pack for success and give good customer service.  Feel free to look at my feedback page.  I do work full time, hence the three day shipping allowance, but I do try to get them out the next day when possible.  It also makes me sometimes slower than I'd like answering questions or putting on new items, but I will get back to you as soon as I can and try not to be lazy about getting listings on.  Thanks for looking and feel free to write me with any questions or new information about my items.  It sometimes gets difficult to exactly identify something and I appreciate feedback and comments from the eBay community!  Have a great day and happy hunting!
