Scavo Glass Duck...Maker?
« on: June 11, 2014, 04:51:04 AM »
Hello,

I just bought this Scavo glass Duck. He's about 11 inches long, 4 inches wide and 5 inches tall and weighs 6 pounds.

Anyone have an idea who made him?

Hi, could you post a closeup of the finish? - I think it is rather Corroso than Scavo...
Reminds me of my Uranium and brown Corroso ashtray: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,43561.0.html

That's rather a find!  ;D
I remember somebody had a corroso hippo once here before; nice chap, no longer here, can't remember his name... Chuggy? I think he made rather a lovely profit on it.

Very nice piece indeed! :)

Could well be the same maker as my bowl, unfortunately not identified so far...
Mine has a very bright glow under UV, how about your piece?

Have you looked through Anita's Murano Zoo for a similar duck?

No duck there that is similar. I can save the search time. :) That is a great duck. No clue who made it, though.
