Can anyone ID this old bubble glass swan please?
« on: July 28, 2009, 08:47:31 AM »
I'm sorry, it's a rubbish picture, the light reflecting through the bubbles at the front, makes them look like slits instead of the small uniform bubbles which they are.

This stands 3.5 inches and measures almost 4 inches long. The base is ground flat on the underside and there are no bubbles bursting out through the base.

Many thanks

Tina

Is it coloured inside, or just reflection?

It's completely clear Frank and one of the least photogenic pieces I've owned! It's actually lovely but I lack the necessary camera skills to show that
Thanks for your help
