Topic: Collection of FISH..............

[Patrick]

Hi,
 Found one with a label...............  All cheap as chips 

I love them.

Regards,

Patrick.

[Lustrousstone]

Well done Patrick 

[David E]

It certainly weeds out these from the so-called Murano fishes. Very interesting.

[Ivo]

There have been many producers of these fish, not only in Murano but also in England, in France and in Germany. And now then China....

[David E]

I was referring to the blanket attribution invariably given to such items.

[flying free]

For future reference just in case pics or info gets swallowed 

The label on one of Patrick's upright facing fish reads 'Swallow Brand' in a circle and then KIANGSU CHINA written separately. 

I wondered if it should read Jiangsu and by using that I found this:
 a couple of remarks about Swallow Brand:
-' The Trademark Swallow Brand was registered by Shanghai Machinery Import & Export Corporation in the fifties of the twentieth century.'


And then I also found this
on a Canadian site
http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/trdmrks/srch/vwTrdmrk.do;jsessionid=0001k5waUUl4lv7wDHQXouDSq0e:UR0VFI8N9?lang=fra&fileNumber=522627

The information mentions various Glassware as being produced but no mention of fish unfortunately.
