Here's another paperweight-figurine I picked up at Salvation yesterday. Guess I'll have to start a swan theme collection now as I have bowls, butter dishes, paperweights and figurines. This beauty hails from Sweden as marked by a tiny round label under her tail. She's 6" tall and 5 1/2" long. A good size for a paperweight or maybe it is just a figurine. I couldn't find a glass maker to attribute this to as there are so many in Sweden but it is very nicely done and quite heavy for it's size. She makes a good companion to my clear Duncan Miller swan bowl I posted a few weeks ago. -Mike-

Hello Mike...Merry Christmas to you and your family...Ps....yes! you may..thank you for being the gentleman...:-)
A gentleman Penny.... well sometimes....lol. I just feel that since some of us have been here a while the avatar's seem so impersonal as time goes on and we become friends more than just random members . I really enjoy talking with people on a first name basis just as you would in real life. Merry Christmas to you and yours and Happy New Year too ! -Mike-
beautiful and Merry Christmas Mike!!

Oh I saw this exact same swan only in black at a shop, but decided to pass on it, as my budget was limited that day. Love your swans, Mike, thanks for sharing. :)
So beautiful!
