This is a charming example of a handmade glass ornament designed by Robert Stennett-Willson and Paul Miller for Wedgwood Glass.
The piece is made from one piece of glass with a central blue and green speckled core, which is encased in a thick layer of clear (flint) glass. This flint layer has been crimped to form the rostrum (beak), the dorsal fin, and the tail. The latter has been impressed with a row of vertical lines.
The underside of the piece has a central polished section, which has a rough area where the pontil would have been. This is marked with the words ‘WEDGWOOD ENGLAND’, although this is hard to discern.
It has a maximum height of approximately 9.0cm and a maximum length of 21.2cm.
It has an unwrapped weight of 680g.
It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
