Vintage Double Glass Bird on Nest Ornament Two Birds in Basket Nest 1950s RARE
Stunning, very rare vintage beaded glass double birds on nest Christmas ornament, circa 1950s-1960s.
This is a very special one of a kind double glass bird ornament featuring two colorful birds sitting on a fancy curly tinsel nest. The birds are simply wonderful, with a beautifully silvered body and multi color wing patches of red, gold, green and blue. The black beaks are super fine and come to a thin point. The bird is highly sculptural with finely molded feather and wing details. The tail feathers on both are the original spun glass in a silvery-white color. The hand painted black dot eyes finish off these wonderful antique glass birds.
The nest is very fancy and sparkly, set inside a large handled wicker basket. The basket handle is wrapped with gold chenille rope interspersed with bright silver glass beads. Three larger silver glass ornaments frame the sides with one extending from the bottom. It has small light blue beads framing it as well. Such classic craftsmanship!
This fine vintage mercury glass bird on nest Christmas ornament measures 6.5 inches tall by 4 inches wide. The birds are 4.5 inches wide, beak tip to tail end. They are in amazing, excellent condition free of chips, breaks, or damage. The basket and embellishments are all intact and free of wear.
What a beautiful, unique, and striking early vintage double glass bird on tinsel nest Christmas ornament. A must have for any antique bird or figural Christmas ornament collection. A thoughtful gift for the bird lover!
