While Wedgwood is most famous for its bone china and iconic Jasperware, it also produced high-quality crystal and art glass. The style of this owl, with its solid, weighty feel and speckled \"mottled\" glass, is characteristic of the mid-20th century. These art glass pieces were popular in the 1970s, often serving as paperweights or decorative objects, and are highly sought after by collectors today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figurine is in \u003cb\u003eexcellent vintage condition\u003c\/b\u003e.
