Hi mate, not exactly 'budding' are you  ::) you can email me with your answer though, only ever had 2 of these and both were ruby, one wave ribbed and one diamond moulded. So your other colour sounds interesting?
I put some photo's of a Pino signoretto bird figure on to guess who made it, a couple of folk said that was fun do some more only trouble is nobody is joining in :cry:

Learned over the years it's always better to know a bit about a lot of things than a lot about one thing.
The answer can be found here in the catalogues.

I'm not really a Whitefriars collector, so can we ask which of those catalogues yours is in Chris?

Anne, what can I do, seeing all those lovely Trinket Sets, I want to start collecting those now!!  As if the Candy Containers that Rose linked me to wasn't enough.

And JP, I've got over 500 glass animals and I still haven't got a clue about them...well I have, but only a little one!!

When all's said and done, there's nothing left to say or do.  Roger McGough.

Rosie, please try and resist! They take over your house, and your head, and every spare waking minute - you'll go  :hb1: and curse the day you saw my link, truly!  :t:

BTW I've added two animals to my collection this week as well: a tiny pink Heron swan and a clear Whitefriars dilly duck.  :rah:
