hand‑blown glass figurine

Description

The female figurine is a hand‑blown glass artwork, crafted with exceptional detail and color layering. The sculpted dress is made of rich, multitone glass—feathered strokes of copper, rose‑gold, and deep green—fanned into a full, bell‑shaped silhouette. The upper body, arms, and headpiece are formed from clear glass with a warm amber tint, showcasing the artisan’s precision. The figurine stands on a clear glass round base and displays fine texturing typical of individually sculpted pieces. This figurine is part of a paired set and is crafted to complement the male figure in both style and scale.
The male figurine is similarly crafted in hand‑blown glass, designed as the companion to the female figure. It features a tapered lower body with layered, leaf‑like strokes in deep green and brown tones, echoing the color palette of the female figurine. The torso, sleeves, and headpiece are sculpted from clear glass, creating contrast and highlighting the artisan’s shaping technique. The figure stands upright on a smooth clear glass base, and displays the same distinctive handmade characteristics—organic shaping, unique textural elements, and individualized coloration.

This pair was purchased at an antique market in Cannes, France, where items are often artisan‑made and not mass‑produced.
The figurines exhibit characteristics consistent with one‑of‑a‑kind, hand‑blown European art glass, including irregular texturing, unique color patterning, and non‑uniform shaping typical of handmade pieces.
Based on an online search, no second set or matching pair of these figurines could be found, reinforcing their uniqueness and making the pair irreplaceable as a matched unit.
