Trebor:
Hi , to day i called in to a charity shop and pick this up it was advertised as being a glass caterpillar. This i thought unlikely as it only as two legs and the eyes where two dabs of paint. It is a sealed unit apart from a small hole near the two supposed ear`s. I think it must be for use in a lab ? Height 162,mm Length 296,mm .Do you think £1 was to much?  Than you

Ivo:
Nope, just right. It is indeed a caterpillar, made by an Italian lampworker. I have one as well, in a box with a dozen or so other lampworked animals. There is a sticker, I could look tomorrow... if you want me to.

Trebor:
Well who would of believed it . Thank you Ivo ,are they old or not

Ivo:
no not old - otherwise the whole club (frog, polar bear, goldfish, caterpillar etc etc) might not have survived unscathed.

The transparent plastic sticker says

HANDMADE PYREX
C.CANGINI
CESENA - ITALY


(Whenever anyone enquires after my star sign, I always say I'm a Pyrex)

Ivo:
they have no website, it seems.
