Yet another Murano elephant ;D
I'm not starting a new thread for this one, as it seems impossible to attribute these elephants anyway.

A little bit smaller (13 cm tall, 15 cm long), but more detailed than the lattimo one,
Made of opalescent white glass, with a lovely golden glow when held against the light.
Murrine eyes, the tusks are clear glass with applied gold foil. (A more uncommon feature it seems).

Thanks,
Michael

That is glorious Michael, and like your other ellies, I would happily find a home for it.  Thank you so much for sharing it with us.  :) Rosie.

Thank you, Rosie :)
(If I ever should consider parting with any of my elephants, you will be the first to know).

Yes, he is really lovely, I like that there is so much detail to him (though the basic construction is the same in all these "older" Murano elephants).
And I have a soft spot for opalescent glass...
