Vintage Mercury Glass Bird Ornament: Silver, Magenta, and Green, made in 1950s


$ 35.00
Wonderful vintage Mercury glass clip on bird Christmas ornament, circa 1950s.

The bird has nicely molded feather and wing details. It is silver in color with
handpainted gold, magenta and blue accents and a pointed black beak. The tail feathers are white plastic.

It measures 4.5 inches long, beak tip to tail end. The blown glass body is almost 2.75 inches. There is one spring (leg) attached to the rectangular unmarked metal clip. It is in good vintage condition free of major chips, cracks, or breaks. There is some minor paint loss and the usual oxidation at the tail end and clip. Also, the area where the tail meets the tail feathers is nicked. Still displays very well.

What a beautiful and striking vintage glass bird ornament. A fabulous addition to any antique ornament collection, a thoughtful gift for the bird lover!
