Picked this little guy up with the cardboard ashtrays at the Coup.I thought the glow was very unusual.I've lit up A LOT of glass but have never seen this reaction.Any help solving this mystery would be appreciated .
Love this horse!!!
Not sure of the maker....but when glass the glows orange I think has Manganese in it

Thanks Moonstone and antiquerose !!! Yes I have seen several pieces glow orange from either manganese or cadmium but this glows a bright pink.
Just looking around.....
Might be Murano (Cenedese). See the Blue horse here at this link posted below (at Anita's Zoo ). The BLUE horse it has smaller ears, and no hooves. The PINK one there has big ears and hooves. Anita is very, very knowledgeable about Murano Glass. I give her a Big SALUTE...
