Soffieria De Carlini Vintage Italian Glass Ballerina Dancer Icicle Ornament

vintage Italian free-blown glass Christmas ornament by the legendary workshop Soffieria De Carlini. This theatrical Lady Cabaret showgirl figurine perfectly embodies the whimsical, high-glamour mid-century craftsmanship Italy is famous for.She features a hand-painted face with stylized eyelashes and a classic minimalist yellow hairstyle outlined in black. Her elaborate costume consists of a red laced corset, a structured red waist bow, textured gold mesh ruffles, and a stunning twisted red glass icicle spike base. She is intricately adorned with shimmering gold fabric wings glued to her back, an ornate white feather headdress, and delicate red bead garlands draping her arms. True to the traditional De Carlini assembly method, this ornament does not feature a metal cap or an embedded glass loop hook; instead, the hanging string is tied securely around the concealed, fabric-wrapped structural base of the feather plume.Condition
