Title: Signed Souchon Green Glass Pelican Any Info?
Post by: sixpence on August 31, 2010, 11:02:56 PM

  I have a 10.5" H green glass pelican.  It is marked on the bottom "Souchon (c)"  The eyes are black glass beads.  Any information would be tremendously helpful.  I'm working on an appraisal and this has me buffaloed.

I wonder if your Souchon is the same as the one referred to here:

I'm wondering the same thing but it refers only to vases and not figures.

The use of the copyright symbol strikes me that it might be a newish piece.

THe owner says that it was bought 35-40 years ago but he doesn't remember anything about it -- just that it was bought shortly after he and his wife were married.  IT could have been new then.  I'm at a total loss on this.
