About the Item
Large Blown Glass Toucan by Färe-Marcolin
UPDATE: Due to agreement with 1stDibs, we'll be staying through the end of the year.
This beautiful toucan sculpture measures apx 11 inches high!
It is in good vintage condition overall, showing just a little wear and a small, clean chip off the tip of the beak, shown in the last photo though it is hard to photograph and hard to see in photos.
"Färe-Marcolin" is what the FM stands for in FM Konstglas.
Josef Marcolin (1933-2015), who originallly lived and was trained as a glassblower in Murano, Italy, moved to Sweden with his brother Benito in 1954. They made beautiful blown glass/crystal sculptures such as this one, which are known for their unique blend of Murano and Swedish style. They started their own glass sculpture company in the 60s, FM Konstglas. In 1991 they moved back to Italy and continued to create for a short time under the name Sardinia Crystal. Eventually they parted and moved again, with Josef continuing to create, under the name Marcolin Art Crystal.

ABOUT OUR LISTINGS:
-Measurements are approximate and generally represent the approximate widest/longest/highest areas of each item.
-Please be aware that the color on your monitor and/or in your environment may look somewhat different than in ours and that glass colors often look deeper on dark backgrounds than they do on light backgrounds.
-Please keep in mind that vintage glass usually will show evidence of previous ownership, such as scuffing, scratching, and/or other wear such as dulling or mars on base, etc. Buyers of vintage glass are presumed to understand and accept such hints of previous ownership. We cannot realistically guarantee perfection since vintage glass has typically been used at some point in the past. We do however inspect for and describe flaws found.
Since we do not offer returns, please message us with concerns or questions if you have any before purchasing an item. We'll be pleased to respond.

In addition to the signature on the bottom, the piece still has both of its original labels as well.
In Murano glass work, fine gold dust inside the glass is called gold polveri. Perhaps this term was dropped by Marcolin due to the inclusions being more notable gold flecks rather than gold dust.
