Ingela, I meant to ask what ACC style refers to?

Please see label

Thanks Ingela.    So do you know why one cat has got it on and the other hasn't?

What does the Silver label say? Handiwork or Handsculptured?

------------------------------

Can you please take one more photo of your "blue bird", from the side (body, head, beak), so I can see the pattern going up into the bird's head. Thank you!

The silver label says Handiwork.

Here is the side view of the blue bird.

Think that's a bit unfair on the Chinese, to be honest, Ingela!   Not all items from China can be disregarding due to quality issues, although I agree there is a lot of very cheaply-made glassware from there.

 :huh: That's not what I said.
I was talking about Chris' penguine.
I've seen attempted grey effect/pattern from the Chinese, it was badly made.
The grey effect in Chris' penguine is well made.
I was not making a general statement.

I suppose V.Nason is the other possibility, as has been discussed on GMB before.

I have looked at Chris' penguine, the details, and I think that this is V. Nason,
and that Rosie's "blue bird" is also V. Nason.
I do not think that these two birds are FM Ronneby.

 What a lot of information you have given Ingela. Thank you

 I am very pleased if it is V Nason......Looks like our birdies are from the same 'nest' Chris!! :rah:

Clearly we can spot quality when we see it!!

Are you selling the Penguin by any chance??

Thank you! 

The silver label says Handiwork.

It's always interesting to know what the label says. There are several Silver labels, and
knowing if it's for instance Handiwork or Handsculptured helps with dating the objects.
Both Handiwork and Handsculptured are 1970's, Handsculptured approx. 1977-1979.
I don't have any more details regarding ACC.

Hi all, picked up a signed FM Ronneby eagle at a fair today, grey similar to the penguin around 7" high  nearly dropped it when he told me the price £180 it seemed a lot? or did he know something I didn't ?
It was signed, but not on the base though on the side.

Hi Chris,  did it have spread wings or was it the folded wing fairly undetailed version?

 If it had spread wings and didn't buy it, well................I'm speechless...I don't think £180 for that would be too much if it is signed......but then I love this stuff and keep hankering after the Golden version of it.

Did you barter?  Tell all, don't keep us in suspense!

[chriscooper]

No Rosie, an upright figure similar to the penguin in colour and stance but obviously taller and slimmer wings by it's side prominent beak definitely an eagle, barter!!!!  I almost dropped it with shock when he said £180 thought he said 18 then I may have bartered shows how much I know
