American by design, but imported from God knows where. My money is on China. This five inch sculpture would make a great gift for the person who has everything, or maybe for the person who has nothing. Here's how it would go:
A: Here you go!
B: Gee, thanks. What is it?
A: It's a glass tiger!
B: How can you tell?
A: See, it has stripes! It's art glass. Very dramatic.
B: I thought it was a ring holder. Or a chopstick rest. Or a little can opener, maybe.
A: Well, I suppose you could use it like any of those. But it is really a treasure, capturing the beauty of the world's largest cat. See its power?
B: If you say so. I'm not a big collector of tiger art glass.
A: You are now!
