Bring bold color, craftsmanship, and mid-century elegance into your home with this authentic pair of vintage Japanese hand-blown art glass rooster sculptures, sourced directly from a Japanese Government Auction.

Created during Japan’s golden era of studio glass in the 1970s, these exceptional sculptures reflect the high level of craftsmanship associated with respected Japanese glass studios such as Sanyu Glass and Iwatsu Glass, celebrated for their refined heavy glass creations.

Together weighing over 2kg (4.4+ lbs), these are substantial heavy glass sculptures with impressive presence and exceptional clarity.

Each bird is individually hand-blown and features brilliant layers of color suspended within thick crystal-clear glass, creating a luminous depth reminiscent of the famous Sommerso technique.

Rich tones of cobalt blue, amber gold, ruby red, emerald green, and clear crystal interact beautifully with light, making these sculptures ideal as statement décor pieces, collectible art glass, luxury paperweights, or conversation-starting shelf displays.

The rooster—an enduring symbol of confidence, prosperity, protection, and good fortune in many cultures—adds an extra layer of symbolic charm to this exceptional pair.

Perfect for collectors of Japanese art glass, mid-century modern décor, Murano-style glass, studio glass, luxury interiors, and rare vintage sculptures.
