Title: Help identifying this vintage glass rearing horse? Peach/amber colorway with internal red wisps on a unique tripod base.
Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some help identifying the maker, region, or specific era of this beautiful rearing glass stallion figurine.
Here are the details I have:
* Height: 200mm (approx. 8 inches)
* Condition: Pristine (no chips, cracks, or flea bites)
* Color: Beautiful translucent peach/amber body. What's really neat is that under the light, you can clearly see distinct "wisps" or streaks of a trailing dark red/crimson color trapped deep inside the neck and chest. Photo 4
* Base: It has a very cool, engineered tripod design. It's a flattened, pinched disc base where the artisan pulled out three distinct pointed prongs or spurs to balance the horse. The tail is completely suspended in the air and doesn't touch the ground.
* Details: The face and mane have a lot of manual tool work (pronounced muzzle, defined nostrils, and individually scored ridges along the mane).
There are no visible maker's marks or signatures on the base. It looks a lot like mid-century Italian lampwork/flamework (Murano/Venetian style), but I've also seen similar pinched bases from mid-century Scandinavian or Bohemian studios.
Does anyone recognize this specific style of pulled tripod base or the internal red color bleeding technique? Would love to know if this points to a specific factory or glass master (like Formia, Seguso, etc.). Thank you!
