just wondering if there is a reason why someone would put a swan and a snail on the same paperweight. is there a story out there like the tortoise and the hare the ugly duckling and so on.

I'm waiting for the swan to gobble up the snail. :help: But that is a mighty big snail. Either that or a mighty small swan. Maybe it was made for kids to teach them the "s" sound. Just kidding here.

Maybe the Swan and Snail for a *lake scene* ??? both have to do with water....but then small swan......?............LOL :wsh:

it looks to have some age but i have tried there to look to see if there are snails like this on there own. there is one i have found from pilgrim glass but not exact . then the swan has the head similar to a whitfriars swan. and the base looks like something Scandinavian im lost. it could be anyones. i just thought if there was a local story out there it might pinpoint a place.
