Title: As promised, pictures of my newest glass 'animal'. Ronneby?
Post by: rosieposie on May 05, 2011, 02:30:26 PM: I waited 4 weeks for this to arrive, and promised Meegs I would post a picture of it....he is adorable and in perfect condition, wrapped so carefully by the seller.
I am still jumping for joy, I have wanted one of these for ages!
:rah:

Any more information about the maker or date made would be very much appreciated. :angel:

Post by: dirk. on May 05, 2011, 02:57:53 PM: He´s a funny one, nice find! :thup: Adding Ronneby to the title might be helpful to attract Inca´s attention.

BTW did he cut the hedge in the background? I´d call him Edward then... ;D

He is a magnificent 9" long and just over 4" high at the tip of his 'antenneae'. I have fallen in love with him! ;)

Title: Re: As promised, pictures of my newest glass 'animal'.
Post by: meegs on May 05, 2011, 07:23:07 PM: Thanks Rosie,
He is one magnificent large caterpillar.
Lucky he didn't emerge from his cocoon of packaging after 4 weeks and fly away :thud:
I do like his positioning and the way he's moving along looking about for his next meal or victim!
Thank-you for posting him.

Cheers
Meegs

Where are you Rose? Is this as good as your 'Secret'?
I am waiting for you to find an animated caterpillar for me....you seem to be able to add animations....I can't! :cry:
Hello Mod, has the title re-jig worked, it seems to have reverted to the original?? Can you check for me please?
Rosie. :sun:

Post by: KevinH on May 05, 2011, 10:27:51 PM: Aaarhhh! I just noticed that when I put my Mod hat on and changed the title ... I did it for one post ... not for the thread. :thud: Now corrected.
Title: Re: As promised, pictures of my newest glass 'animal'. Ronneby?
Post by: rosieposie on May 05, 2011, 10:38:07 PM: Thank you Kevin, I'll ask the caterpillar to give you a hug from me!!

Post by: rosieposie on May 06, 2011, 05:46:14 PM: Thanks Rose and Ross.....I knew it was a Ronneby piece, but I would really love to know who actually made 'Ronnie' and what the numbers mean? Ingela, where are you????
Title: Re: As promised, pictures of my newest glass 'animal'. Ronneby?
Post by: inca on May 06, 2011, 09:11:16 PM: Rosie! Congratulations! He’s gorgeous, beautiful! :thup:

Your caterpillar, C-826, was made approx. 1978-1982

C stands for "COMBINATION"
meaning the designs were a combination from Josef + Benito Marcolin

I have a caterpillar, signed: Marcolin Sweden C-826, made approx. 1984-1985
10" long and 6" high

Post by: rosieposie on May 06, 2011, 09:24:17 PM: Hi Inca :hi:
I am so pleased you like him.....yours is spectacular....and so different. Rose has christened mine 'Ronnie', does yours have a name??
I couldn't believe my luck as I did a Buy it Now for about half what I would have expected to pay for him, and coupled with the 2 Marcolin Swans, I really had a very good 'Scandi' week. When it took 4 weeks for this to come from USA, I was really worried that I had lost it!!
Thank you for explaining the letters and numbers ...... I want another one now!!

Post by: inca on May 07, 2011, 07:23:11 PM: Hi Rosie,

I am pleased that you like my caterpillar. :rah:
He doesn't have a name. Could he be Ronnie too, or maybe Ronnie 2? ;D

4 weeks from USA. I know how it feels to wait, I once waited 8 weeks for a Ronneby squirrel to arrive, and I was worried that it had been lost in the mail.

My caterpillar is a bit different and I don't see this effect often, but I just love it!

Marcolin have some stunning effects. Have a look at this one! ;)

Post by: rosieposie on May 07, 2011, 10:10:15 PM: Wow Inca! That is wonderful......I missed out on an Eagle just before Christmas...when you have to add postage, it does reduce the amount you can bid.... :cry: It was huge with outstretched wings and so beautifully marked. Oh now I am making myself more sad!

I must look out for another one.......

My Ronnie says he is happy for you to call your caterpillar Ronnie2, so that's OK. :-[
