Uranium lampwork creatures

--- Quote from: "Max" ---They're very well made indeed, and in no way feel like cheap tourist tat  :shock:  to me.

 :oops: Sorry, Max!  I didn't mean to imply that about your purchases!    :shock:  :oops:  I was just saying that the Murano version we bought was, shall we say, 'in plentiful supply' in the tourist shops in Venice / Murano.

I recognise that yours is a much superior version, and probably has much greater age, but the nib in particular does look quite similar in style to me.      

Not meaning to 'cast nasturtiums'  :oops:  :roll:

I have seen some of this style of lampwork coming out of Russia as contemporary work and some of the pieces have uranium glass as part of the color scheme.  I don't recall the website, but saw one that had 500+ critters and some were my favorite color.

Frank:
Fish and Parrot are not Pirelli, eyes are done in a different way. Others do not look like P either. So these could have come from anywhere, as likely UK as Russia, Germany, Italy, etc.

Max:
Thanks Dave, Leni, Frank.  :)

Being sold alongside the Stourbridge pen, with the same (albeit hearsay) provenance, I'm inclined to think these are Stourbridge too.

I'll probably never find out though.  I'll just enjoy them.  Especially Mr Snappy, the crocodile, he's sooo sweet.  :wink:

Frank:
No reason why not and not neccesarily from a glassworks.
