Glass Toucan? Murano maybe?

<< < (4/4)

TxSilver:
Heavy hand TxSilver here to discuss the bird itself. The bird has silver and the nice black feet that hint at Murano, but I'm not sure it is. It looks like it has some swirling of the glass on bottom, rather than being ground and polished. It may just be the way I'm looking at it. The application of the silver is different than most Murano pieces I've seen. I have no idea where this bird could have been made.

TxSilver:
I found your pelican at http://www.rikaro.com.au/cu.2_+_cu.1. It's a little different, but I believe it is the same maker. Rikaro is a mystery company to me. I'm not really sure if all their things are Czech, Oriental, or a mixture of the two. Rikaro is an Australian import company. I know many of their things are made in the Czech Republic. I believe other of their things are made in China.

kane_u_pain:
A lot of the Rikaro stuff is Japanese, Chinese and of course Czech. A larger percentage is Japanese though.

TxSilver:
Thanks for the information, Kane. I wasn't sure that Japan was one of the countries.

chriscooper:
Thank you both just checked the link Anita that's it for me, so we can safely say it's not Murano, may Czech a strong possibility it's Japanese and just a slim chance it could be Chinese.
The base is rippled.
thanks again Chris :sun:
