Title: Please help a "Rookie" identify a glass toucan...
Post by: Linda Wheat on January 16, 2016, 10:59:19 PM

This is my first visit to this awesome site (given to me by a very happy regular user).  I am settling my sister's estate and know absolutely nothing about her glass collections.  What I have been able to identify, I have researched and listed on eBay. I have been putting several pieces aside because I have run into the Identification Brick Wall.  So, any help you folks can offer with ID would be greatly appreciated!  (The picture of the base "might" be a signature...or just scratches...)
Thanks so much!

Welcome to the forum Linda.

I can not tell you who made your (rather nice) toucan but I believe it will have been made in Murano.

Take a look in the Murano Zoo, you may strike lucky: https://sites.google.com/site/muranozoo/

Thanks again John!  Your help is really appreciated.  I wish I had known about you folks before I spent hours trying on my own...  You're AWESOME!!
