This Marcolin Art Crystal swan is stunning. The work of a true artisan.It is made in Sweden by Italian, Murano trained glass blowers. The skills are evident in the rods and bubbles  that make up the feathers in the body of the swan. THe photos speak for themselves. The edges of each individual "feather" appear frosted and the color is  a dark amethyst/ violet. The head is held at a delicate angle to the side. It is signed on the bottom: Marcolin, Sweden and 14-206. It is in excellent condition No chips or cracks, but there is a very tiny scratch on the base. It is a heavy piece, weighing about 3 lbs. It comes from a smoke and pet free environment
