Ken, you always make my day with your kind compliments. This bunny was the hardest glass animal I ever had to photograph, so sculpted that whether in natural or artificial light he was shadowy all over. So very grateful for the nice words J.
Thank you for the luv

Sincere thanks Sean
What a little cutie New! With that beautiful red, it definitely stands out... no wallflower here : )
Very kind compliment Rick, I appreciate it! He does look red but is actually the dark orange persimmon color- I held him up to other Viking red glass animals to be sure, their reds are more ruby
I love him!
Another wonderful bunny that I missed. I love you Thumper bunny Jenni!!
Thanks for the sweet comment Laura!
Scott I'm so happy you found my Thumper & for the love, I forgot about this post! He is one of my nicest glass animals, a bright deep orangy red, and so heavy, must be leaded glass
oh wow intense red!
Thank you KinkiPlz & AnythingObscure for the love, glad you liked this rabbit.
Appreciate the great comment Kinki, yes this Thumper bunny is quite red! In person it has a bit of an orange-red coloring and was sold to me as Persimmon which is a rare Viking color in glass animals, but in my photos it looks to be definitely bright red. Such a heavy piece, I think Viking used leaded glass, but they are very strongly made & impressive
Appreciate the thoughtful love Nafssalg, very glad you liked this Viking rabbit
Very kind of you MrsT, really appreciate the love
