Topic: glass duck paperweight FM KONSTGLASS ? help please

[rosieposie]

I have a small but to me, very precious collection of Marcolin / FM Konstglas/ V.Nason glass.
I sold the blue bird because I perceived it as an 'Intruder' in the collection.  But as often is the case,  I now have 'sellers remorse', because on reflection, it was a very pretty bird.
It showed a level of artistry and production technique that should have been appreciated for what it is and not what it was thought to be!!   
I am questioning my own values more and more these days, and am trying to collect what pleases me as much as what is considered valuable. 
Your little duck looks like quite a cutie Stew, and even though the base may not be polished, if you like it, well,the base won't show on display.

I saw a couple of elephants in TK Maxx on Saturday that were made with the same technique as the original duck in this thread and the very same colour too. The 'quilting' and the bubbles do not look as precise as those in items made by FM Konstglass. I peeled of the price labels but underneath was just another barcode with no country of origin marked.
