Description
Here's a splendid one-of-a-kind hand painted Opal Satin glass Owl figurine from Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe (5.625" tall, made by our friends at Mosser Glass, using the Fenton mould). Michelle's delightful, eye-catching hand painted design features a hungry Squirrel and lots and lots of acorns. Michelle's talent for accurate depictions of wildlife is shown to perfection. The head of the majestic hand painted Owl in natural tones has piercing eyes, and dotted white accents add to its presence. The fulsome hand painted acorns are scattered about on an attractive crosshatch pattern. This one-of-a-kind hand painted Opal Satin glass Owl figurine is identified, dated and signed on the underside: "M. Kibbe 2024 OOAK".
