Here is a 3 1-2"H opaline blue glass owl creamer with feather and leaf pattern and two glass eyes, item #335 by Imperial Glass. The milk glass versions were ca 1955-60 per book Glass Animals by Spencer. The creamer came as a set with an owl sugar bowl
The artistry used here with the opaline blue leaves and the eyes give this piece wonder and amazement! Very beautiful!
I love this. Surprised to see those eyes. Very nice.
His expression is more than a little surprise to see us gazing back at him !~

I love all your terrific comments friends, thank you
DejaVu you've nailed it, the artistry of the pattern really shows up in this light blue glass - there were darker colors like cobalt & purple slag, but with them it's difficult to see the detail (how bout those cute feet!) and this also is an uncommon glass color for me
Dean, glad you loved this guy, & the glass eyes really make this little owl come alive - they're even real owl colored, how cool is that
Phil, he looks totally surprised but also more gentle than predatory... people often forget that owls are birds of prey, but I think they're more well liked than others because we don't see them hunting which they do at night. And there are such pretty owl varieties, the snowy owl is my fave, lovely in winter
Scott isn't it a great little creamer, it's a shame I couldn't find the matching owl sugar bowl, but I know you appreciate that with vintage items you're lucky to find just one much of the time. I love that expression too, the glass artist captured the real owl look
Tilted he sure is a marvy little guy, glad you liked :)
Beautiful owl...nice colour and love the expression...
Thanks Kevin & Leesa for the kind love, it's very nice of you both and I'm truly grateful
