This was made by a local glass artist here in Hudson, Michigan. I bought it new a few days ago and never used it. The metal is hand forged. This is a OOAK, being this is from a free-form design. The glass is beveled and clear, except for the eyes which look like a brown transparent glass. Measures 9" at the longest and 5.5" at the widest. Again, you are paying a high price for this HEAVY item. It weighs 10 ounces prepackaged. I'm trying to find out if there's resale value to homemade items. We'll see. Local pickup in Hudson, MI. This is made by a WOMAN, in her own workshop. She welded this cat design herself. She made the glasswork herself. This was made here in Hudson, Michigan. I have no idea how the process of this item was made. LOCATION: Hanging from rod in studio.
