Pirelli lampwork.
1959 catalogue page 17.
Manufacturer: Pirelli Glass Ltd
Description

Made at Pirelli's Potters Bar works.

1¾" (45mm) long and 1½" (38mm) high  n.b. the left hand also has a thumb, either missing or hidden in the catalogue image. Transparent brown and opaque white.

Mostly designed by Edward Robbins, a scientific glassmaker who later emigrated to Canada and continued to create lampwork figures in a Mall.

All of the figures are shown in the Glass Zoo and mostly with multiple views and examples of actual figures. On request, I will add colour examples here but otherwise just use the catalogue images here.
