AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage glass display head – striking yellow-green and full of retro character
A eye-catcher that catches the light beautifully. This vintage glass head combines a stylized face with a pronounced yellow-green color. Depending on the light, gold-yellow and olive-green nuances appear, while the transparency further emphasizes the contours of the nose, lips and ears.
The smooth, rounded head shape flows into a short neck with a round, ribbed foot. The result is a sculptural object that presents a different image from every angle.
Similar colored glass mannequin heads are dated in antique shops around the seventies. This piece aligns with that decorative tradition; the exact maker, origin and production date have not been established.
Beautiful as a standalone decorative object on a sideboard, in a display cabinet or with a collection of vintage glass. Also attractive for displaying a hat, glasses or headphones. The bright color gives both a calm interior and a pronounced retro setup a playful accent.
Features
* Glass head with stylized facial features.
* Transparent yellow-green color with olive-green nuances.
* Rounded head shape and clearly defined ears.
* Short neck with round, ribbed foot.
* Visible mold seam.
* Maker, origin and exact dating unknown.
Condition
Vintage used condition with visible signs of wear. The surface shows scratches, small spots and localized superficial wear. Also around the foot there are signs of use.
