Lovely swan, is it Swedish??
« on: February 10, 2011, 05:11:39 PM »
Hello again....I have a pair of these swans. 

They have slight differences that make me think they are not molded,  and there are no mold mark either. 

About 3.5" ( I will check if necessary) wide,  they have lovely detail where the beak joins the face.  Otherwise rather simple in design,  reminiscent of Dutch, (Leerdam)  or maybe (and I think this is why I bought them), Riejmyre.

Can anyone confirm this for me please?

Wow,  that's it!!  That's my swan!! 

Thank you Ingela  :kissy:.....I have two of them,  and I did think they might be Reijmyre.....does that mean I am improving??????

I wonder what 50 Kroner is in English money??

I think I paid less than a fiver for the pair!

50 Kroner is currently a little less than 5 quid Rosie.

Thank you John,  so it seems 2 for the price of one!!!

I have just found this one in clear glass:

Does anybody know if these were molded or hot worked??  I did have a Reijmyre squirrel that was molded....at least it still had marks that looked like mold marks on it,  but I can't see any on these swans, and they are subtly different.
