      This is very sweet, it's pose and colour is so adorable! It is rather like a real dove's pose- the head up and alert and inquisitive, sort of as if he's been given some seeds and is wondering if there's more or not?! Reminds me of the pair that often visit my garden,

      Thank you so much Lauren for the wonderful comment, I am glad this reminds you of the doves in your garden, we have the grey mourning doves here in NY and they do have a sad sort of cooing. They are very devoted birds much like cardinals, almost always have a mate close by, and yes the head of this glass one is very like the real birds

      Ken thank you for the terrific compliment, that tail is pretty impressive from the back sorta reminds me of the NBC peacock lol! Of course Murano took artistic license with this tail but they always part from reality in some way right

      Thanks Scott for the super praise, really glad you found this a wowzer, I found the color combo so appealing I couldn't resist

      Thomas thanks so much, yes the dove of peace, before we know it Christmas will be here and that is often the theme of my holiday cards

      MrsT thank you for the great compliment I am so delighted you found this dove beautiful as I did

      Eileen thanks for the really lovely compliments and I just wish I had a big bay window to display all my glass animals in the sun (they originally were called window glass animals, probably for that purpose) but unfortunately since I've just moved they are sitting on shelves patiently awaiting a display case, one day soon I hope :)

      Karen thank you for the kind words and you absolutely nailed the description for this bird, calm and restful, this blue & green sommerso blend is my fave Murano combination as it reminds me of the land & sea colors of the warm tropics

      Mary thanks so much for the appreciation my friend, you helped me along when I first came on CW to post the measurements, the backs of jewelry etc, so I thank you for making me a better CW collector as I want others to know as much as possible about my post & try for accuracy, besides online research you should see my big heavy books on glass & jewelry! Like you I find this site very enjoyable, the people here are great & we help each other & learn from each other, what could be better right

      Rock on Mary XOXOXO luv Jenni - I would put an emoji heart here but CW doesn't take them, how about a half smile :)

      Thank you six-0-one for the very kind love I am so glad you enjoyed this Murano dove, he is one of my favorites

      Many thanks rene for your kind comments and I agree this may have been a Seguso inspired design but done by another Murano company
    14. apostata apostata, 4 years ago
      i have done it all over again because i ought to know the lable , but i am to incoherent. its like i said before it may have been a seguso because its a sonoclore, the point is 6 parted is peculiar
