Sabino Opalescent Glass Fish Pair Queue de Voile, Poisson Mouleck

  
These figurines are vintage Sabino opalescent art glass fish, originally designed in France during the Art Deco period. Founded by Marius Ernest Sabino in 1919, the studio became world-renowned for its distinct chemical formula that produces a milky, semi-translucent glass. In good condition, a couple of tiny chips, pictured. Shines Amber, Blue, Pink depending on light. Dates can be worked out by the makers mark - pre World War II Sabino was rather messily hand etched on the base.

After WWII it was included in the mold. The specific Sabino catalog model names for these two opalescent glass figurines are, looking at first picture, Left Figurine: "Queue de Voile" (Model F196) - This translates literally to "sail tail" or veil tail, representing a fancy goldfish with long flowing fins Right Figurine: "Poisson Mouleck" (Model F41) - This represents a distinct species stylized with a wide, high dorsal fin and prominent ridges.
