Title: Just for fun 3 elephant figure
Post by: chriscooper on December 29, 2010, 10:19:29 PM
Stands 4.5" high, not the most famous glass house but pretty well known I have seen paperweights, angels, fish and rabbits and colourful millifiori and murrine vases from this manufacturer.

So it's not Selkirk?
It does look very like a couple of Selkirk animally things I have ..... somewhere.

And it's an elemouse you have there...... or is it a mous-ephant? :spls:

Oh Sue,  shame on you ::)...it isn't anything like a Selkirk Ellie....I've got quite a few of those.

Mind you,  I haven't guessed right yet!! :usd:

 :-[ I've not seen a Selkirk nellie, Rosie - I've got a duck and some other bird thing, I think. I was going by the texture and colour of the enamels and the clear bits stuck on.
I bow to your superior knowledge. :kissy:

(and, snivel, snivel, I don't do pws or animal figures... and I avoid "cute" and "pretty" like the plague - we're allergic. It's a complete accident and mystery that any of these sorts of items have managed to surreptitiously sneak their way into the house at all........)

OK Sue, even though you are in Scotland and should know better, I forgive you  :kissy:....wipe your snivels and if you like I will try to post  pic over the next week or two.

Your email was correct Rosie :hiclp:
Sue, no wonder I was confused trying to work out an Italian glasshouse with the letters  K,K,S,L.I.E.R in the name  :huh:

That would be much appreciated, Rosie!
I should have been thinking Italy after the mention of murrine vases, but had forgotten that bit by the time I'd been distracted by looking at the mous-ephant....(my short-term memory isn't good).

Here we are Sue,  just for you! :angel:

I can't remember whether I've got a short term memory or not. :24:

Hope you don't mind me hijacking :hj: your Murano Ellie thread Chris! :D
Happy New Year to you all. :rah:

Oooooh, they're lovely Rosieposie - and nothing murine or murrine about them at all. >:D

I wonder if my birds are earlier - they're not nearly as competent, but I'm afraid they're packed away somewhere, it would take (quite literally) days of work to find them. (It's only 6-7 crates, but it took me a week to pack each, factoring in recovery time for overdoing it.)

Thank you so much for the pics! :kissy:

It would be your long-term memory that's at fault if you can't remember if you have a short-term one or not. ;)
(Short term memory is the bit "where" you keep, for example, the telephone number of a shop between reading it and dialling it. Once you've dialled it, you don't remember it.
Long term memory is "where" you keep all the numbers you know by heart.
 
But for stuff to get put into long term memory from the short term, the short term has to be working properly, and able to keep lots of bits of info. and compare them. If it's not able to do that, it doesn't get into the long term bit. I can't keep "lots of bits" there at once - if something else comes along and grabs my attention, the bit I'd been paying attention to before vanishes.

Glad you like them Sue,  and anybody else who has seen them!!

I would like to see your birds Sue....you can't keep them locked away,  you will stunt their growth!! Get them out \nd display them, enjoy them and photograph them!! (Please :-*)

I have about a dozen of their ducks,  some rabbits, squirrels, owls and hedgehogs...a super collection really.

We were cross-posting, Rosie - I was modifying my post 'cos I kept unexpectedly remembering I had other bits to say - if I knew which crate they were in it would help!
I don't even have a Mdina Nellie. :'(

Adam Aaronson had some stunningly fabby Nellies he'd made at one of the Nationals last year.

thank-you :thup:  Not a name I've heard of before. (sorry for hijacking and wibbling, Chris.)

Thanks for allowing the hijack Chris.  :sun:


Is there a way for me to see Adam Aaranson's ellies Sue? 

I think I might have a Maltese ellie,  I'll have a look after tonights festivities!

There is a picture of a Cristallo rabbit next to Chris's ellie....it was mine,  and can you believe,  I SOLD it!! I still haven't forgiven myself!

Chris, I think this quiz idea is really cool....it makes us look at other pieces we might otherwise not consider, and it is all good learning stuff........I believe it could even help the short term memory! May we have some more please??

I meant to say Sue,  I did know about long term / short term memory,  I am a retired nurse, that's why I put a  :24: after my comment!!
