Derbyshire Lions or something else?

(1/3) > >>

Tigerchips:
I'm just checking to see if these amber coloured lions are Derbyshire or not.

They measure around 4.50 inches in length, 2.75 inches high and nearly 2 inches wide. I've been comparing this one with the larger versions as I've not seen any this small yet.

Notice that the lions tail appears on the left side of the lion rather than the right side. The front legs are longer and the ribs on the base are thicker.

The legs are not complete and the mane is much smaller.

No marks on the base

So are they Derbyshire or something else?

Thanks, Tony.

Hi Tony
I think, note the think, that Greener made lions as well. That might be a starting point. I also think the Greener lions are not quite so well sculpted as the Derbyshire ones.

Tigerchips:
Hi, thanks, I think your right, I found this while googling
Cloud Lion

I've just bought that book too, lol.

Interesting shape, when I showed them to the other volunteers they thought they were lids from something else. They both belong to my shop by the way.  :D

another mystery!  At first I thought they were Summit Glass Co. (USA) which were made in a bajillion colors, but in doing a search, the ruffled edge is a bit different, and is 1/4 inch shorter than your example.  At least we eliminated one that it is not.  here is the first link i found, and the seller has lots in lots of colors:

Tigerchips:
Interesting that the design is so similar, I presume the Summit Glass Co lions are fairly recent? The lion that I posted does not look new though.
