Title: Alexandrite Glass
Post by: glassmagpie on April 14, 2015, 12:13:56 PM

hi I was hoping someone may be able to help me identify the country and maker of my Alexandrite Cockeral, it is approximately 12" high by 12" wide so he's quite a big boy.

Thanks

Zanetti seems to have or has done quite a few Alexandrite animal/bird figurines over the years as I had a big bull 5 years ago & just recently saw a large bear figure in a mall. They all had this signature.

You will often see it listed on the auction site as Zouette L  or Louette L so if this is a maker any of you want to collect more of, then add that to your search criteria and you will see more of them.
