Art Glass Penguin Hand Blown Red and White Stripes Figurine Large 8⅝"H

Description

Art Glass Penguin Hand Blown Red and White Stripes Figurine Large 8⅝"H.  This beautiful sculpture is in great condition with no chips or cracks. I don't know. It's provenance but it is a well-blown piece. It is also somewhat substantial as it is close to 9" tall. I will call this Murano style as it is all one blown piece, with the exception of its eyes, and it is hollow through the center.
Approximate measurements:
8⅝"H x 5½"Diam
3 lb

About me:
I graduated with a Bachelor's in Interior Design in '97. I worked in the field for 20 years successfully until having twins with medical issues. This necessitated my transition to a different kind of work and staying home with them. Recently, I have reignited my passion for design with my (mostly) vintage and antiques eBay business. I'm very small but I get to handle all aspects and make sure my customers are happy. I find it very fulfilling to find hidden treasures for others to enjoy! In a strange way, it keeps me in touch with my design roots and helps make a little money to participate in paying bills for my family. Thank you so much for looking and for your purchase, I really appreciate you!
