Willy Steinlin (St.Gallen, Switzerland) was mainly working in pottery, but also has designed several glass items. His Olma Cow (as a butter dish) has already been discussed here (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,46404.msg260895.html#msg260895).
Another one of his glass designs is the Owl - like the Olma Cow used for several items. Right now there is a pendant on ebay (http://www.ebay.ch/itm/140837836395) - the seller (http://myworld.ebay.ch/fourinand/?_trksid=p4340.l2559) has provided me with an improved image for this board (below). There is also a 30 cm diameter cake plate on ricardo (https://www.ricardo.ch/kaufen/haushalt-und-wohnen/geschirr-und-glaeser/servierplatten-und-schalen/servierplatten/hergiswiler-glas/v/an680210962/), made by Glasi Hergiswil (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,37431.0.html) (but no longer available there).
As for the "pendant" - I am not quite sure if that is the correct translation: far too heavy to carry it around your neck: it is meant to be displayed in a window.
