Mini Story

This striking Italian art glass peacock is a high-quality studio glass piece, featuring a dramatic fanned tail in layered cobalt and aqua tones, richly decorated with genuine embedded millefiori canes.

The sculptural form, depth of colour, and weight of the glass clearly place this well above decorative tourist pieces. Peacock figures are prized in art glass for their symbolism of beauty and elegance, and this example makes a bold, vibrant statement whether displayed alone or within a curated glass collection.

While unsigned, the craftsmanship, colour saturation, and polished pontil base are consistent with quality Italian studio glass production of the late 20th century.
