The Toucan Fresca, Handpainted, handblown fine glass ornament. European Glass. Folk Art Style. Heirloom quality

The Toucan Fresca - Fresh, playful and empowered. The Toucan always brings out the best in others.

This artglass rendition of a Toucan, is an exceptional handblown glass ornament, created by the most skilled of glassblowers.

To create this shape, the ornament glass is blown into a specially designed metal mold.
In this case, the mold has a tiny opening the bill, which allows the considerable freeformbill to be formed.
While the artist is blowing, they will reach into this opening with something that looks like a crochet hook and pull the glass through.
The trick is to direct the air through the mold properly, to fill the toucans' bill, all while moving the hook to fashion it properly, at the same time. Exceptional skill needed!

When complete, the inner ornament is coated with silver.
This produces not only impressive reflection [it is now a mirror] but also through the multiple layers of lacquers, produces considerable depth of color.
And again, we go to exceptionally skilled artists to pull of the riot of color and precision work, that our designs require.
This rainbow of colors' handpainted design is created through layering details with numerous variations of lacquer and paint.

Exceptional, heirloom quality ornaments, for your collection or gifting - created by the finest artists located in small regions and villages of Poland.
Inspired folk art design with artisan techniques. Not just for the holidays anymore!
Felix Navidad!
