Title: Bird with Silver inclusion V Nason FM or plain old Chinese
Post by: chriscooper on January 27, 2011, 06:39:09 PM

 Not sure if it comes across in the photo's too well but its clear glass with Silver inclusion the pattern is diamond shaped with bubbles with in them.

I think it might be Scandinavian,  Granna glass perhaps??  I have a few very like that one.

Interesting piece. It's very much a Murano technique (the quilted effect with the bubble in the middle), which, of course, would not rule out Marcolin. But not signed would tend to put me in the direction of Nason or some other Murano bird maker.

I'll take some pics of some of my Granna glass birdies with this technique as well so you can see the similarities Chris.  It was Ingela who put me on to them when  I didn't know who they were made by.

I have a picture of an ICET owl made using this technique, but without the silver. So it is another possibility.

Regarding Marcolin: sometimes there is only a label, sometimes a label and a signature.

I have deleted my albums. I won’t go into details, but something happened, and as a result of this I decided to delete my albums.

Chris, I have a photo of my little FM Marcolin silver chicken, thought I had some more photos but I can’t find them at the moment. You can also have a look here at some more FM chickens.

Hi Chris, as promised,  here are the Granna group and a couple of close ups.

Lovely birds! Thank you for sharing. 

Here is one for you!  ;)  No label or signature, but I believe this to be Gränna.

Thank you Ingela,  there is no doubt that is Granna Glass,  and the little chicks show Chris's to be Marcolin.  Really lovely all of them.

Thanks all for your help, thanks for showing the photos Rosie.
What a shame Ingela found your albums and Anita's Murano zoo invaluable read some of your early posts cannot believe the knowledge you have gained in such a few short years.
Nice too that you are always willing to share it.
Thank you so much :fwr:
Chris
