Hello Ingela!
Thank you so much for doing the research on this piece.
It is a very nice weight. Can you give me a little background on the company?
Are the lions unusual or hard to find?
Just curious. Thanks again!
Great pictures too.

Hi Javier,

The company is FM Konstglas in Ronneby, Sweden. It has been mentioned from
time to time on this message board, mostly in the Glass section.

FM is often referrred to as Fratelli Marcolin or Fare Marcolin but this is
not correct . FM stands for Färe-Marcolin.

Here is a short presentation taken from a FM catalogue from the 1980's.

In the 1980's they changed the company name to Marcolin Art Crystal.
They closed down in Ronneby in 1991.

Here is a link to Marcolin Art Crystal with their current collection:

" Are the lions unusual or hard to find? "

I do not know how unusual they are but they do not turn up very often.
