It's not pate de verre.  ;D
The base looks like the bases of some Czech sculptures, but they tend to have more comical things on top, not elegant birds.
The bird does not look Czech to me. I'm stumped. :)

Been a while, so hoping someone out there might help identify, I have seen an Elio Raffaeli bird which has a similarity it is in the murano zoo  https://sites.google.com/site/muranozoo/birds-reptiles-2/birds-9/Elio%20Raffaeli%20Bird%20Thomas%20Wilson.jpg?attredirects=0
Just looked it up as I had not heard of the method. It is basically glass casting so not sure where that takes you if they are cast and then worked. I don't collect animals so not sure how they are made.

Clean and Crisp a Murano twist.
Archimede tops my list.
