Dynasty Iridescent Oil-Slick Art Glass Octopus Sculpture
A sculptural blown art glass octopus by Dynasty, finished in a dramatic oil-slick iridescence that shifts between peacock blue, violet, amber, and bronze across the smoke-black glass body. The bulbous mantle rises above eight gracefully curling tentacles, each underside detailed with rows of applied glass suckers that catch and refract light differently than the polished upper surfaces.
The piece retains its original Dynasty foil label and a Hearst Castle gift shop price tag marked $112.00, indicating retail provenance through the historic California landmark's boutique. A decorative statement for a console, bookshelf, or coastal-themed interior, the octopus reads as both whimsical and substantial — the iridescent surface treatment elevating a familiar marine motif into something closer to an oil-on-water optical event.
CONDITION
Excellent. No chips, cracks, or damage observed. Iridescent finish presents bright and complete across all surfaces. Original maker label and Hearst Castle retail tag both intact on underside.
