Topic: Pirelli labelled paperweight - info sought

Thanks! I suppose that if the company were in charge of the making of lampwork figurines, they would have had some control over the quality and regulations about how they were to be executed?
There certainly appears to be some evidence of quality control, although I have observed several differences, particularly in the peacocks. Some have uranium glass in their tails, others don't, and the quality and style of the tails varies.

Thank-you, Roberta!
Difficult to follow loads of it - when folk get obsessed with shenannigans to do with filthy lucre and legal stuff, my brain turns off.

I found a Pirelli fox at the weekend. It has elongated black pupils in its eyes, not a feature I'd seen before.

Hi Roberta.  Thanks for the link to Frank Andrew's Article.  I had not seen that before.
