Topic: Can anyone idenyify the maker of this glass whale, Nason?

[maureene]

I would love to know who made this , any ideas would be very much appreciated. pewter colour , 5" long ,it has many scratches to the base so it has age to it .

Welcome to the board Maureene, your whale does have a bit of the look of V. Nason about it.

 Viking , Yes I know what you mean , very similar but not the one .

[maureene]

Thank you John , I wonder how many sizes were made as yours is quite large , I have two of these but the other smaller one has a broken tail , your interest is very much appreciated .

Hi Maureene, here is a link to my query for a very similar whale- Zanneti was a possible. http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,21871.0.html
It might or might not help.

Hi Maureene,

I've added Nason to the subject line in the hope of attracting Anita, who might be able to help distinguish between Nason, Viking and Zanneti.

Maureen, a close up photo of one of the whale's eyes and another photo in daylight showing (with no camera flash) the colour of the whale might be useful.
