This crystal sculpture was made using the demanding pâte-de-verre technique. It captures a scene one might find deep in the wild regions of America: a majestic bald eagle plunges from the heavens toward the water below. As the eagle strikes its prey in sudden victory and prepares to carry it aloft in its talons, the waves burst skyward, melding with the eagle’s glistening body in a marriage of heaven and earth. This limited edition, crystal American eagle figurine is a glass art collectible. It is handmade, showing vivid, naturalistic detail, while also conveying a strong sense of the American spirit: strength, pride, courage and freedom.
