Title: Alexandrite Glass Stag (Paperweight?) Murano or Czech Glass?
Post by: wiggy131 on August 26, 2013, 08:09:43 PM

Hello,
         I have come across this lovely colour change glass Stag paperweight. Can you help me ID the maker. I have done some research on other paperweight but can't find this design. It might not be a stag either!
Would be grateful for your help!
Vickie

I',m quite surprised that know one has informed you that your in the wrong forum for this.  I'm sure one of the moderators will move it for you, save you re-posting it. ;)

Hi Vickie,

Otis's point is valid - if this really is a paperweight. But it looks to be a bit large for a paperweight and also animals and figurines etc. often do better for ID in the general Glass forum.

I have therefore simply changed your title slightly, in the hope that more folk will take a look in here.

I'd always assumed this delicate lilac/lavender colour was called neodymium  - with alexandrite like the pieces in this link........ http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,51070.msg289374.html#msg289374

However, a nice piece Vicky :)
