Mid-Century Clear and Yellow Art Glass Duck Sculpture

At 27 cm tall, this mid-century art glass duck is a piece of genuine decorative scale, the elongated neck and open beak giving it a dynamic, forward-reaching presence, and the clear glass body infused with vivid yellow flecking and controlled bubbles creating a luminous internal quality that changes with the light.

Made in the 20th century, this art glass duck sculpture features a clear glass body with vivid yellow flecking and controlled bubbles distributed through the glass, an elongated neck, and an open beak that gives the piece a sense of animated movement. The controlled bubble technique, in which air is deliberately introduced into the molten glass to create a pattern of bubbles within the body, is a skilled glassmaking process that adds a secondary layer of visual interest to the piece. The yellow flecking, distributed unevenly through the clear glass, creates a warm internal glow that is particularly effective when the piece is lit from below or placed in natural light. Mid-century art glass bird sculptures of this scale and quality are consistently sought after by collectors of decorative glass.
