Have a look at "Murano" glass items on google, Bob or ebay. Very popular items. Perhaps you can

google the name on the item if it has one.

[mrmouse 11]

Oh wow, I love that, absolutely beautiful.

[lilythepink 11]

It is stunning! The Beak insists it is his cousin from Italy (or somewhere equally special!)

[oaks and acorns 10]

Seems like fine craftsmanship indeed, what is shown of it. Does your camera only do head shots?

[mrmouse 11]

there should be 3 other photos on the listing , designed to make you lie on the floor or turn your monitor .

[oaks and acorns 10]

Ooops, forgot to turn the picture thingie on. And foiled your design, only needed to tilt the head slightly.

 

But hey, also get to repeat myself now... fine craftsmanship! Is it a murano? Looks like it may be... would bulk your listing up nicely if you could provide history and origin, etc.

[mrmouse 11]

I presume it is ,but cant state it as such ,it was apparently acquired in Spain in 1973 odd , and is apparently hand made , i cannot vouch for it , it is a solid piece of glass though .

[oaks and acorns 10]

Maybe you could ask this chap, send him the pic and see what he says?

It's beauty might see it getting even more than that, I think.

If we compare the base of these Murano chickens to the base,mouth and feathers of the one in question it is obvious that this is (Sorry) a crude copy of Murano glass.The thickness, especially of the feathers is obvious.

Here is an example for 30 dollars on shopwiki.com
