Title: Artic Blue Crystal Swan I.D
Post by: Otis Orlando on May 01, 2012, 09:14:58 PM
Hi all,  I would be interested to know if anyone can identify this swan.   I  purchased it whilst on holiday from one of the local charity shops.  There is such a variation of glass swans, I first thought it might be Murano, however, unable to find anything similar during my research.  I was able to find a footed swan but that too was different even though the height was the same .  The height of my crystal swan is 8.5 inches/21cm.  The base if flat, oval and and signs of ware.

how gracious and considerate - I would have expected no less from you  -  but there's really no excuse for me making a spelling mistake in the space of only eight words. :)

Thank you from me too as I picked up one of these today at a vintage market, and was puzzling over the colour. :)
