Hi all
This little chap is made from a good quality blue glass with a flat, well polished base (it has some paint on which im yet to chip off)
Now i know ive seen him before infact i believe quite recently, but for the life of me cant find him (when you type in owl on the search here it comes up with everything with those letters lots and lots of thread ive looked through but not found him)
He stands at 8cm tall.
I keep thinking he is Czech maybe Zelezny Brod, but then i think he is scandi  :chky:
any ideas
As always many thanks
michelle

What a pretty owl...  the shape looks very ZBS to my eyes.  Hmmmm...  I hope someone cleverer will be able to help out.  :)

Hi Anik, pretty sure it is ZBS, that was the first thing that sprung into mind when i saw it, and im sure i found one very very similar on ebay which was stickered but now cant find it again or any other example the same.
Im having a right week of things that i know ive seen before but just cant find them now  :thud:
