Topic: Murano? Clear Glass Penguin Compote Glows Under Blacklight

[socsthecat]

Does this compote with a penguin base look familiar to anyone?  The only thing I can think of is Murano.  The piece is clear glass but glows all over under a black light.  It has a large "captured" bubble in the bottom.  I think it does have some age due to the amount of scratching on the bottom.  It measures about 7 inches tall.  I love this piece but have no idea what it is.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

It's not a penguin, it's a bird - and it's rather pretty!  It looks Seguso-ish to me, but I'll leave it to one of the Murano experts as I can't tell one bird maker from another really.

Wow!  Wonderful!
If that isn't Seguso, I'll eat my hat.......or preferably whatever you serve on it!!

I'll see if I can find anything out for you.

I had a cat called socks!

Thanks much for your help and comments!  I would appreciate any additional information you can find as all of my searches came up empty.

Don't tell me Rosie bet it had four white paws that looked remarkably like socks

Hopefully one of the Murano experts will be able to say if this pretty bird is Seguso or not.
