Quite a collection then Rosie.  I'll keep my eyes open for same and Amber Lilliput.  Good luck!  (You don't happen to have the Pirelli linked ellies do you?)

Hi Nancy....well I have to confess that I don't have any Pirelli glass that I am aware of (I assume you mean lampwork type?) I only have one little green lampwork ellie,  I bought him to go with the two green mottled Wedgwood ellies to make it a family...... :usd:

I think I might make the effort and start photographing all the ellies....I would need a big windowsill though!

Can you put a picture up of a Pirelli ellie so I can see the type you mean,  then I can look out for one if you would like me to.

Would love to see a photo of your ellies, and indeed of all of your animals Rosie.  I've heard so much about them.  And how nice that you make sure they have families.  You must love them indeed!  I've been looking out for the Pirelli linked ellies - they're just so cute.  There are sets of 3 and 4 (I get all my info from Frank's Glass Zoo).  I have seen other, more recent versions, but the Pirelli ones have real character I think, especially the wee one at the end who's on his butt refusing to move!  I can't send you a pic as the only ref I have is in the Zoo, and not available without membership (or are you a member? - it's all about glass animals - not just Pirelli).

I guess if you see a set with ellies linking their trunks and tails, and the last one is refusing to move, it might be Pirelli.

I'll look out for yours if you'll look out for mine!  :thup: :X:

Hi Nancy....I thought I was a member of the Zoo,  but I can't remember my password!!  It's an age thing!

I will look out for a little troup of ellies with a stubborn baby at the rear!  and if I see one at Cambridge, would you like me to ring you......if so,  leave your phone number on my email (envelope on left).  Or are you going anyway?  I will only have eyes for animals there so if there is one,  I'm sure I will notice.

Definitely. We make very few of them and they are all one off - specially for Cambridge...together with a few other little bits and pieces..not going to spill the beans (or would that be apples and pears?)...you'll just have to get there early!
