Up for sale is an exceptional, rare matched pair of authentic vintage Formia Murano art glass Birds of Paradise. Crafted in Venice, Italy, these heavy-gauge glass sculptures feature a rich, vibrant lime-to-emerald green body infused with shimmering gold avventurina flecks, set atop clear sculpted branch bases with black glass beaks.

​Originally created and displayed as complementary partners, finding both halves of this estate set together is exceptionally rare.

​The Set Includes:

​Bird 1 (Open Wings / Uplifted Stance): Features wings swept wide in a landing/takeoff pose, complete with the original foil label intact.

​Bird 2 (Closed Wings / Sweeping Curve Stance): Features a sleek, arched form with wings tucked tight and an elegant, long sweeping tail.

​Overall Status: Excellent vintage condition.

​Details: No chips, cracks, flea bites, or repairs to any of the delicate tail tips, beaks, or wing tips. Both pieces display minor, age-appropriate light surface wear on the bases from gentle display, typical of authentic vintage art glass.
