Also, Pinkspoons, you are absolutely correct,  I have a Holmegaard one bought on holiday in Denmark....cobalt blue.

Now, only one complaint Ivo.......having looked at so many gorgeous glass pigs,  I think I am falling in love with yet another glass animal.......I do NOT NEED any more, but I am still buying more than I sell! :usd:

Ivo,  I just found a piggy number two (the larger version in the same colour as yours). Have you confirmed these to be Hazel Atlas? Do you know roughly when they were produced?

Many thanks in advance.

I have only ever seen it identified once, but cannot vouch for accuracy as I've not seen any paper proof. But I believe it is correct, at least feasible, and I think they have been produced for a very long time as they keep oinking up on me all the time.

Ok thanks, according to Wikipedia Hazel Atlas ceased to exist in 1962 so I guess they must have been produced before that.
