Description :

A clear glass or crystal sculpture depicting an adult koala climbing a tree with a baby koala clinging to its back. The composition centers on the two animals carved in relief within an irregular, organic block of glass framed by a frosted edge.

Technique: Intricate internal engraving and etching create textured fur and bark; frosted edges provide contrast with the polished interior.

Shape and Form: Asymmetrical, naturalistic block that emphasizes depth and three-dimensionality; the scene appears set slightly recessed from the outer surface.

Marking: A small maker’s mark is visible at the base identifying the piece as Swedish art glass.

Material: Clear crystal or high-quality glass with both polished and frosted surfaces.

Finish: Smooth, glossy faces around the central scene; matte frosted rim that softens the silhouette.

Condition: No visible chips or cracks in the photographed area; engraving details appear crisp. Includes original box

Display: Best shown with directional lighting from above or behind to highlight internal etching and create subtle shadows that enhance the relief. A neutral or dark background will increase contrast and make the frosted edge stand out.


Dimensions : 7.25 in W x 7.5 in H
