The Statue of Liberty is arguably the most famous symbol of welcome in the world. It has stood on Liberty Island in New York Harbor since 1886 and, over the decades, has welcomed millions of immigrants who, after a long sea voyage, saw American soil for the first time. For many, the sight of it was the moment when the hope for a new life suddenly became tangible. Its official name is “Liberty Enlightening the World”—freedom bringing light to the world.
The statue was a gift from France, as a symbol of friendship and in commemoration of the shared ideals of freedom and democracy. It was designed by the sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, and its interior features an iron framework by Gustave Eiffel, the builder of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which provides stability. Her skin consists of thin copper plates that have acquired their characteristic blue-green patina over the years through oxidation. Incidentally, she originally shone in a light copper-brown hue.
Every detail of the statue has meaning: the torch in her raised hand symbolizes enlightenment and hope; the tablet in her left arm bears the date of the American Declaration of Independence; and the seven rays of the crown are often interpreted as representing the seven seas and continents. Together with the fluttering flag of the United States—the Stars and Stripes—this landmark becomes a proud symbol of freedom, unity, and the American Dream. A motif for everyone who loves New York, has been there before, or still dreams of going.
The Statue of Liberty with Flag is a richly detailed, three-dimensional glass figurine with a base. The statue stands upright, holding the torch high; behind her, the American flag flutters in vibrant red, white, and blue with sparkling silver stars. The figure is finished in a fresh blue-green hue reminiscent of the original’s patina, accented with fine silver glitter on the crown, robe, and edges. The base shimmers in warm gold and sand tones with golden glitter lines. Hand-blown and hand-painted, each figure is a one-of-a-kind piece.
