Love it or hate it! Big uranium dog!
« on: July 22, 2009, 04:59:01 PM »
Ok...gird your loins, you'll either love this or hate it!  I love it and my husband hates it...guess we're going to fight over where it goes!  (kitchen or shed!)

This dog must surely be Murano...but look at his biscuity eyes!  Super! (to me anyway!) and his lovely satin body with uranium casing!  Isn't he cute?

He's got a big chip on his foot, but he wasn't expensive so I don't mind.   :hiclp:

Any idea of maker?  Or just generic 1970s Murano for the tourists?  lol

I'm with you Max - I love it (if only because it's absolutely nuts!)

Put it in the shed for a while then, when John's not looking, bring it indoors :-)

Ah yes...the old 'switcheroo'!   In the shed for a little while then craftily moved into a bathroom, then the stairs, then the kitchen...I'm with ya!   ;) :thup:

He does look like quality to me...but probably not pin-downable to a maker...well, I can't think of anyone making bonkers dogs in the 70s...lol

That is a great dog. The bow is shaped like a cat that Salviati makes. The eyes are like those I've seen on Murano dogs that have a generic label, so I don't know who did them. My best guess is Murano, but company unknown. It looks like a good dog, even with its generic eyes.  :o

Just tell hubby.... where the dog goes, I follow....   :thup:

Or you could use the one I hear....  If you really loved me...  blah blah blah blah....

Just kidding....   >:D

For a glass dog... he is kinda cute....  but I really don't do animals in glass....
I have been told that glass is my mistress......

Kaz, I don't really look at ebay anymore because I'm flat broke!   :'(   Wah!  Poor me!

Michelle, he does glow like mad...what I need is some UV lights on shelves so I can illuminate uranium stuff all the time...wonder if Christine has them?

Thanks TX...in my mind I'll think of him as Salviati then.   ;)

Obscurities - He's already caved in!  I can have the dog where I like!  Wooot!!   :hiclp:
