Sabino Art Deco Opalescent Figurine


I found this piece of opalescent crystal this morning at the local thrift store for $1.99. I didn't recognize the 'Sabino Paris' marking on the bottom, but it looked like 'quality.' I don't know how else to describe it. It literally stood out from all the other knick-knacks surrounding it. Anyway, it turns out to be a piece of art glass made by Sabino of France. Retail price for this particular piece is about $700. Perhaps that will make my husband reconsider his opinion of my junking addiction.
