Pair of birds Scandinavian? ID = Archimede Seguso

Any thoughts on this lovely pair of birds one dark amber the other a nice clear Aqua, look well made quality pieces.
Bought them together no doubting they are a matching pair.
4" long 2.5" high.

Both heads lean the same way - they match, but they can't be a pair - a pair would be mirror images of each other.(and probably the same colour).
Can't help beyond that, I think you need Anita or Rosieposie.

Thanks John :sun:
Sue you're just being pedantic with me again for some reason, pretty sure everyone knows what I mean, as in there is no doubt they are from the same hand or from the same factory.
Sorry we cannot all be quite so articulate.

Chris, I do like your birds, particularly the amber one  :).

P.S.  My husband is tall, I'm short... he's hairy, I'm not... He's got dark brown eyes, I've got blue...  and we're a pair.  ;D

Thanks Anik, prefer the aqua myself they are well made and different from the blobby ones, so hopefully someone my recognise the style  and when they go they will stay together I will definitely list them as couple :-[

Hi Chris  :hi:

I think your pretty birds are a lovely matching pair.

I would guess Murano, the tails are very like one I have........I'll get on the case and see what I come up with.
