Received as a gift from a friend, really kind of as a joke, but when it arrived I was truly taken by it. I had promised prior to actually seeing my gift, that I would display it, but I actually like it.... very kitsch.... very different...... great colors..... good size....... and good age to it.
It measures 8 inches wide, 6 inches front to back, and 6 inches tall. It weighs in at 5 lbs and had some water staining in it which cleaned up easily, so the condition is superb.
Looking for animal people to come along and tell me who did it. My suspicion is in the title, but who knows......
TIA, Craig

Love it. He made me laugh
-
I was wondering if he belongs with your "dead pigeon", Christine. :)
-
I think he has a little more class ;)
-
Poor pigeon :'( - I like your pigeon and think he's every bit as classy as this pup.
-
Is it only me that sees it as a bat?
:D

Not now. ;D

The colours seem to really match the maker in your heading ;D Looks a bit like a bulldog..

Somewhere packed away in one of the boxes of damaged, but too precious to throw away glass animals, I have a Cenedese dog with this same face and colouring.
Recently, I did see a pair of Cenedese bookends with this same dog as the model, (you may still be lucky enough to catch them on Google if you put in Cenedese dog bookends) so I am sure your vase is Cenedese.
They are not always signed, sadly.
-
I have requested permission to post the image here of the dog bookends. I will let you know. They are absolutely a match to the bowl...... Since they sold as dogs, as opposed to wingless bats, I suppose we can put the type of animal question to bed. ;D ; :o ::)
So it does appear that the bowl is Cenedese and likely by Da Ros.
What a great gift!!!

I agree it looks more like a French Bulldog than a Scottie
-
I'm thrilled for you Craig, and very glad that the bookends were there for you to see as well.
I vowed I would never pack any glass away but would keep getting more cabinets made....but there is only so much wall space, so I have (like many of you) resorted to putting my damaged glass that is still 'special', away in boxes along with the 'overflow' of pieces that I can't bear to part with.
The doggie is amongst them, and I will bookmark this thread so that if I come across him when I am rummaging through the boxes, I will take a picture and post it here.
I do have a very good memory for glass animals though and I KNOW it is the same maker, Cenedese.
Yes, a very lovely gift. :)

I would have felt better if I could have seen a label for the bookends. They don't seem a lot like Da Ros to me. They seem more like Galliano Ferro. Craig, your bowl could be Cenedese, but the colors made me wonder about Ferro. I would love it if the bookends have a label on them. Then we would know for sure. They have to be the same maker as your bowl.
-
Hi Anita, I have several pieces of Ferro in this "school" of colors, and the colors are slightly different....... especially the reds...... I have a couple of other pieces I believe to be Cenedese and the colors match up pretty well...... may never know for sure, but I agree that the bowl and bookends are one in the same production house and designer.
My inquiries on the bookends were never answered....... i may ask again......
As always, thanks for your insight....
Craig
