Meet Oscar the Lion, a collectible pressed-glass figurine produced by Summit Art Glass of Ravenna, Ohio.
Oscar is molded in pale pearlized opalescent glass with a beautiful iridescent finish that reflects soft pink, blue, green and gold tones. Under ultraviolet light, the glass produces a remarkably bright green glow—as every properly majestic lion should.
The reclining lion rests on an oval ribbed base. The underside bears the V-in-circle Vogelsong/Summit mark and a molded “00,” possibly indicating production around 2000.
Approximate measurements:
4 3/4" long
2 1/4" wide
2 1/2" tall
Excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks observed. Minor molding variations and light surface wear may be present. Please review all photographs closely, including the UV-light image, as they are part of the description.
A wonderful addition to a collection of Summit Art Glass, UV-reactive glass, glass animals or American art glass.
