Here's some pictures of my sick parrot. He's lovely, huge and heavy and so ugly! :24
-
Yes pl79, he is wonderful, I love him.....is the number a date and an item number?
-
I don't know is it too early to be a date? I have not thought about what the number could be. :huh:

Great parrot! The label was used from the early 1960s until the late 1970s according to Marc Heiremans in his book Murano Glass: Themes and Variations. The etched numbers are probably the stock and model number. That is what they look like to me. I would love to put your parrot in the Murano Zoo. If you would like to put it in the zoo, just send me a picture -- the first one will do -- the height and your full name and I'll be glad to find include it. You can reach my email by clicking the envelope on the left.
If you haven't seen the zoo, the link is under my signature. Your parrot would be a great addition.

Great parrot. I LOVE It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :smg: I have to agree the numbers on the label are probably stock numbers.

I have sent the photo for 'sick as a parrot' to be in the zoo. We are most honoured to be invited. Thank you for all your lovely comments. :kissy:
-
hmm, I'm rubbish at making out these animals as Rosie will know, but that looks like a seagull to me, not a pigeon... that beak is definitely gull material (Christine's I mean) - gorgeous glass though.

No that's pure pigeon beak... Anyway what else would you buy in Venice!
-
;D -well all I can say is the ones that live near me ::) have a more shall we say ....'refined' beak ;D But I do like him - honestly - he's a gorgeous colour.
and I have no idea what else you'd buy in Venice cos I was there a few months ago and couldn't afford a thing :cry: :cry: I had to be content with drooling in the shops whilst hubby and two young sons stood outside in 90degrees moaning (they had no idea then that 90degrees was nothing compared to the 5hour horrific cat ride they were about to endure all because I had insisted on a quick trip to Venice :ooh:
