Spanish Fans, pictured in Tom Bredehoft's "Glass Tumblers" book. Imported to the US by AA Importing, circa 1974. That company is responsible for a large portion of the reproductions, "fantasy pieces" and what some would call outright fakes circulating in this country today.

Having owned one, I'll agree it is a beautiful and well done piece.

I don't know about the 1970's, but they say they are international today. You might want to ask them directly - their customer service email is near the bottom of this page:

I recieved a very nice reply from A A IMPORTING

Sue,If that was something that we carried it was a long while ago and haven't had it in ages.  Sorry, wish I could have been more of a help to you.  Have a great day!
