AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant and original figurative bottle in the shape of a bird, made of carved green glass with decorative silver mounts, including head, legs and collar. The bird's head features gold details that add contrast and refinement, while the body of translucent green glass offers a very decorative visual effect.
This type of piece was traditionally used as a vinegar cruet, oil bottle, or small liquor bottle, especially on elegant mid-20th-century tables. The zoomorphic form was highly appreciated in European decorative glassware, combining functionality and artistic value.
Punched marks can be seen on the silver mount, probably European silver (possible Portuguese or Central European origin), made in the second half of the 20th century.
Characteristics:
• Material: Carved green glass and silver
• Decoration: Bird head with gold details
• Style: Zoomorphic / decorative
• Use: Vinegar cruet, oil bottle, or liquor bottle
• Origin: Spain
• Era: 20th century
Measurements:
• Height: 14 cm
• Width: 5.5 cm
• Length: 6.5 cm
• Weight: 163 grams
Very good overall condition, with light signs of use consistent with age. A highly decorative and collectible piece.
