Capture a little bit of history and happiness with this complete 1990 family set of the "Original Bluebird of Happiness." Hand-blown at the famous Terra Studios in Arkansas, these iconic cobalt blue art glass figurines are highly collectible and were designed by artist Leo Ward.
Created as a symbol of health, happiness, and friendship, these birds were "hatched" in the USA. Because Leo Ward retired and the studio has since stopped producing the traditional bluebirds, these signed and dated pieces from the 1990s are increasingly sought after by collectors.
