It doesn't look particularly Italian to me. I would lean more toward Mexican. I could be wrong though!

On what basis do you say definitely Italian? Apart from both being bulls, I see no particular similarities

Definitely Mexican. They're all over the flea markets here in So Cal.  I don't see the resemblance between the fabulous red bull and the multi colored one.   It's hard to clearly see the multi-colored one because the photos are a bit dark, but I've seen many of these in person.

the glass does look Mexican

which of the smileys

means... boy did I screw that one up

heh...

I've never seen one here on the east coast

but lots of other junk

the bluish glass and yellow color

give it away

the pics are too bad to see the construction

so much for attributions through the computer screen

I'm still learning

heh...
