(just ignore the hatpin tray reference  ::))

Any ideas who made this bevy (or herd) of swans please?  They range in size up to 6" high.  They are incredibly light and delicate.

TIA  :)

Yep - they've been swanning around for a while but with no success.  ;)

I did wonder if they were Russian, Anne, as there are a lot of animals made there. I've checked the Russian sites in GlassLinks and they appear not to be POPASNAJA Glass Factory. The other big Russian site I had has gone. There is a similar-coloured swan showing on here: http://www.russianglass.co.uk/ but I think this shape is smaller, and the site seems to be having problems as I can't connect to the animals catalogue, but it's worth a look when it's working again.

Thanks t'other Anne :)  It does look very similar, not just the colour but general shape also.  The website is still having problems so I'll try again tomorrow and have a good look.
