Three Items of Iridescent Cobalt Blue Art Glass including a Bicentennial Commemorative Holder - A trio of iridescent cobalt blue art glass decorative objects. The collection includes a bird figurine, a thick ring-form paperweight, and a square commemorative holder. The bird figurine is rendered with a crest and outspread wings, featuring a metallic multi-colored iridescent finish over a cobalt base glass. This piece is attributed to the studio of Alan Fox. The donut-shaped paperweight features a smooth, polished surface with a similar iridescent luster. The square-form holder is molded with four patriotic and historical panels: a profile of a Native American, an American bison, the Liberty Bell with the date 1776, and an American flag with the molded word BICENTENNIAL. This commemorative piece is in the style of Fenton Art Glass produced for the 1976 United States Bicentennial.
