This clear and frosted glass decorative sculpture represents a shy sparrow created in the Art Deco style during the period of 1930. The piece is shaped into a small bird figurine with a lowered head pose, detailed textured feathers across the wings, and fine moulded detailing throughout the body. The glass surface displays a distinct clear frosted finish with polished highlights on the smooth areas. Measuring 7 cm high, this sculpture fits neatly onto an office desk or mantelpiece as a decorative accent. It integrates well into traditional or modern interior settings where small glassware or animal sculptures are displayed to add subtle texture and form to the surface.

FAQs

Designed during the Art Deco period in France, Rene Lalique produced decorative glass animal figures, including sparrows, using moulded pressing techniques to create distinct textured and frosted surfaces.

These objects were crafted using high-grade glass or semi-crystal glass, shaped in metal moulds, and finished with satin frosting through acid etching or sandblasting to highlight decorative details.

Genuine pieces typically feature an etched or moulded signature on the base, along with refined mould lines and precise frosted-to-clear glass contrast.

Place the glass sculpture on a dark wooden desk, marble console, or near a natural light source like a window sill to highlight its translucency and detailed moulding.

Clean frosted glass gently using lukewarm water and mild dish soap with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasives, or exposure to sudden temperature fluctuations.
