Topic: * Glass Swan Identify?

[antiquerose123]

Hi, I have this orange glass swan, and I am not sure of maker, age, or value.  If anyone can help, it is greatly appreciated   

Thanks in advance for ANY information at all.....

Swan dishes seem to be one of the most widely produced critters as handled bowls. In addition to production pieces they were often made as friggers too. Without a label or distinct features of a particular glassmaker, identification is not possible.

Hi Rose, they seem not to be high-value items, but they are nice to have.  Viking/New Martinsville did make some swan dishes so may be worth checking out. Meanwhile, your swan can keep my swan company.  :angel: http://yobunny.org.uk/gallery1/displayimage.php?pos=-32

Frank won't mind, he'll just add them all to the Glass Zoo, Rose!

[Leni]

I see them on ebay described as by Duncan Miller

That was the other name I read about Leni, I couldn't remember it. Thank you!   I asked if mine was DM somewhere and was told definitely not, more likely Viking/NM, but Rose's could well be DM I suppose.
