A large Canadian? style art glass sculpture of a stylized bird, likely representing a pheasant or peacock. The piece is hand-blown using a sommerso technique, featuring a vibrant lime green core encased within a heavy clear glass exterior. The form is defined by a long, tapering tail section and a curved neck terminating in a head with a rilled clear glass crest and pointed beak. The sculpture is supported by an integral clear glass quadruped-style base with four distinct feet. Small air bubbles, or seeds, are visible within the glass body, indicative of the traditional hand-blowing process. The piece exhibits the heavy, freeform aesthetic associated with mid-century Canadian glass studios.
