A newer puffer fish design by Edith Mair followed in 2017 and has also since been retired. Swarovski's crystal animal figurines date back to 1976, beginning with a mouse created for the Innsbruck Winter Olympic Games — a line that has since grown to more than a thousand different designs. The brand traces to 1895, when Daniel Swarovski, who learned glass-cutting from his father, patented the first electric precision crystal-cutting machine and opened his own crystal business in Austria, laying the foundation for what is now one of the oldest and largest names in the luxury crystal industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse our shop for more vintage art glass and crystal figurines to round out your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swarovski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43200156532945,"sku":"G916","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/1733\/8577\/files\/Swarovski-blow-fish.jpg?v=1785341951","url":"https:\/\/www.antigotrunk.com\/products\/sculpture-art-glass-swarovski-crystal-blow-puffer-fish-figurine-signed-vintage-1978","provider":"Antigo Trunk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
