Topic: Strange scandy? fish

[lyndhurst44]

Hi,
I bought this strange fish on Sunday thinking it might have been a Hoglund piece but my friend John (glassobsessed) has told me that the colour is wrong. The fish has a "white wine"  shade. Any ideas please?.
The photo was taken with a mobile phone when I was in Mumbles on Sunday afternoon, hence the background.
Cheers,
Bryn

Just to add a little more info, the fish is 4.5" long and 4" tall and quite heavy at 600gms.

I could be wrong about the colour thing, any chance of more photos of Swansea Bay? Another of the fish too please.

I'm pretty sure these are by Pukeberg.. I have seen one with a label sometime ago.

Hi,
Thanks Paul, I was actually thinking along those lines myself, I have a labelled Pukeburg Viking ship and Polar bear which have the same sort of structure but the colour threw me a bit.
I have taken another photo as requested by John, on dry land, so as to speak!

Hi Bryn.. I'm quite sure its a Pukeberg piece and probably designed by Uno Westerberg c1980s its a nice item. Pukeberg did cast horses heads too that look lovely. Regards Paul.

It doesn't look so yellow now, my pukeberg solifleur also has a slight yellowy tinge http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-11764

Hi,
I've just done a bit of googling and found this Artifact auction.

The maddning thing is that I also saw no less than 2 of the cockerals one clear and another blue and i didn't even ask the price. I think you were there when I picked up one John. Drat! :spls:
Thanks everyone for your help.
