After spending 3 1/2 hours on the internet looking at glass swans I myself think they are murano. I did find one pair of seguso the eyes looked the same and the tail did have a curl to, but they were green inside and the back had more of an arch. Found white ones like mine but none had the curl at the tail, which I actually like better. Anyway I'm happy with them, which is what really counts. Thanks everyone for your help.

 I think they are quality Murano mc, and I am sure we will come up with an answer....trouble with hand made hot worked glass, is that every piece is unique, so although there may be some similarities, there will also be variations.
I bet one of us will come across the answer just as we are looking for something else!

Thanks for all your help Rosie on my swans and the 2 fish I also have posted that say FM Ronneby Sweden and Marcolin Sweden. I paid $130.00 for the swans and $80.00 for the 2 fish, so I'm feeling better on the prices I paid. Thanks again.

You have great taste in glass animals and they are my thing.....I have nearly 600 peces now......it is a bit of an obsession!
Are you in USA as you mention dollars?
Do you mind being called mc, or do you want to have a 'name' to humanise you?

Hi, my name is Cheryl and I live in Napa Valley California wine capital of the US. I just started collecting glass in the last year only at thrift stores and garage sales and estate sales. It's amazing how much I already have living in a town of no more than 100,000 people, but it is fun. These were my most expensive pieces to date I got them at a thrift store if fact I just got a 11 inch giraffe today for $10.00  I don't think it is murano, but I liked it. Actually I collect alot of things my grand daughters think my house is like a museum. I'm retired so I have the time now to do what I love.
