St. Petersburg Glass Butterflies
Glass artisans working in St. Petersburg, Russia, use centuries-old lamp-work techniques to form these expressive glass butterflies entirely by hand, without the use of molds. Many cultures and religious traditions regard butterflies as symbols of the soul, and in one Russian dialect, the word for butterfly, dushichka, is derived from the word for soul—dusha. With their glittering wings and delicate bodies, these handcrafted creatures have an ephemeral individuality that highlights their spiritual symbolism. Each handmade sculpture is unique and may vary slightly. 4 1/2'' wingspan, 2 1/2''D.
