Title: Dark Purple Elephant - Murano ID
Post by: sawi on July 17, 2016, 02:38:12 PM

Murano elephant made of dark purple glass... any ideas who made it, and when?
The elephant is about 20 cm high.

Many thanks!

Could possibly be the work of Fratelli Toso.
Have you looked in the Murano Zoo?

I think it will date from the 1930s, take a look at this topic: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,57250.0.html
