A rather strange lampwork sculpture.   What is it supposed to represent?

Hajdamach II discusses independent lampworkers in the Stourbridge area - can this be attributed to one of them?   Who was it made for?   Stevens & Williams?   Dates?

Thanks for your interest.

What is it supposed to represent - I see two people embracing but the heads leave something to be desired maybe in a stage of evolution.

Dancers?

If there weren't each two legs and arms would have said seahorses?  :pb:

I would have said not Victorian    or earlier Stourbridge. Modern Italy or indeed anywhere 20th C. Lampwork is/was made everywhere.

  Reminds me of the Italian segment from the movie Night on Earth, but minus one Vespa.

A clear image would help, it is not typical lampwork but far to unclear to assess.

I see them as dancers out of some weird Opera or Ballet in costume and head dress or masks . Italian.....! and thats before a drink . My new specs are on order .

In fact I thought I'd logged onto the wrong internet site when I first saw what I thought they were doing

You are doubly a very naughty boy. In defence of my posts in the other two threads, it was before midnight in Canada when I made them.
