This assortment of miniature figurines is crafted using the lampwork technique, featuring hand-blown and shaped glass. The collection includes a variety of stylized animals and birds in clear glass accented with opaque and translucent colours. Notable figures include a snail with a yellow and white spiralled shell, an orange and brown seated fawn with white spots and large eyes, and several long-necked birds with various beak and head colours. Also present are multiple quadruped animals resembling hounds or dogs with coloured accents on the ears and tails, a textured clear glass figure likely representing a sheep or poodle, and a figure with a black and white face suggesting a panda. The pieces reflect the style of mid-20th-century glass miniatures produced in Murano, Italy, and by various boutique glass studios.
