What on earth are you doing up so late !  :o  It was bought as a birthday present for me  (50!  :( ) So I had to bid for it... and so put in an enormous sum, thinking nobody would possibly come anywhere near it and I was totally shocked at the result  ! :o  I know the elephant is almost identical to the one that was sold on ebay, (by  eerrrmmm ?  ;) ) shortly before the auction of the above cutie , and it must be almost impossible to produce an identical elephant from a blob/gather of glass unless you are highly skilled ! That's my assumption  :)

There must be others out there..... a whole lot cheaper , and I would love to see another MDG dog !! If anyone has one  :)

Sorry Rosie  :'( Forgive me  ;)

Well, I could do with a coffee  ;D....

 I can't swap (sorry ) as they are presents, but if I find another rabbit, that is similar, I will send it to you for free ! I promise  ;) I have seen another rabbit (on ebay with label...Phoenician ....spelling ???) which is very similar in design  to this one  but with completely different colouring.

OK, that seems fair enough!  ;D

My email is there if you want to give me the item number for the Phoenician one. :)

The Phoenician one was months ago , so it is probably not currently listed. They also do or did a version of the Maltese boat ashtray but the ends of the boat are longer and more perpendicular and again different colours.  :) Thanks again for posting the photos Rosie ! Cheers, Mike

P.s. I will continue to hunt for rabbits  ;)
