Vintage Blown-Glass Owl Sculpture by Don Shepherd

1971 art glass owl sculpture by Don Shepherd for Jonynas & Shepherd Studio of Queens, NY. Since he was most noted for being the lead-designer for Blenko in the 1970s-1980s and a later designer for Herman Miller, Shepherd’s earlier studio pieces are less common.
This asymmetrical, stand-alone owl sculpture shows heavily textured detail of the figure itself ‘wrapped’ in a flat, clear glass border. With its chic, modernist design, this piece is a striking decorative object.
