Hey from the land of ice and snow, got this at the thrift store, the tail is chipped so it only cost 2 $ or so.

Its almost 30 cm long and 16 cm high, any thougths?

Many thanks!

You don't need us after all - but don't run away, please!
It's lovely and will display well despite the damage. Glow is good too.

Personally, I like these on top of loo cisterns.  :smg:

[Hel]

hahah..my loo thingy is curved..hmm but I can put it on a shelf in the bathroom

but now as we are going on 3 months of continious snow over here I want to take all my glass out into the crystally white snow in my garden and take pictures...maybe I´ll do that this weekend and im sure the fish will looke gorgeous in the snow!

thanks

and thanks to anik who has its brother for sale..thats how i figured it out

Cased, thick glass really doesn't like sudden or extreme temperature changes.......

[Hel]

And the green glow is almost certainly not uranium in this case. It will be manganese decoloriser

[Hel]

yes this fish must have been made between 1960-1990, thats not the time for uranium i gather?

still learning...

thanks
