Bluebird of Happiness Leo Ward 1996 Blown Art Glass Blue Bird Handcrafted

They don't make these anymore, folks. Stopped in 2020 to cut down on their greenhouse gas emissions. Owners felt this was opposite of their mission of helping to save the planet. So with heavy hearts, they discontinued production until further notice. Leo Ward created Terra Studios and is credited with creating the first Bluebird of Happiness in 1982. Other glass blowers at Terra sign theirs as well, but to have one by Leo is, IMO, the only signature to have. A copy of the original information that came with the box will be included in your purchase. It tells the entire story of the Bluebird and will make this a gift to someone you care for that much more memorable. This is the smaller of the 2 bird sizes made. Please see pics. No marks or chips present, though photos may appear that bird has a little debris that needs to be removed. Thank you for visiting my “store”, Texas Treasures.
