Sabino Art Glass Squirrel Figurine | Emerald Green and White Slag with Satin Finish
Marius Ernest Sabino immigrated from Sicily to France at the age of four. Originally, he followed in his father's footsteps and studied wood sculpting. With the creation of the electric light, there became tremendous demand for shades and panels and so he entered into his first entrepreneurial endeavor making shades and panels mostly out of wood and bronze. Sabino was taken by the glass shades and panels being created by his contemporaries, and quickly learned the process for molding them. In the 1920's the art deco movement was sweeping across the world, centered in Paris. Sabino expanded his product line to include vases, figurines, and many other forms. In 1925 he perfected the blue-hued opalescent glass for which he became famous.
