      beautiful color on this piece, so enchanting. Lovely
    2. LaurenRedmond LaurenRedmond, 4 years ago
      Very cool looking bowl- reminds me of a stylized swan actually? Love the curling neck and elegantly folded wings- the cool turquoise colour is great too!

      really like the transparent color .....very cool indeed.....

      Nice one Jenni! He's much bigger than I initially thought and I love the color of this one as well.

      Seems to really invoke the spirit of a dragon, gorgeous !~

      and couldbe for the like

      Thank you Lori for your great praise and I love your calling this enchanting, there is something very dreamy about this piece in the soft green

      Lauren you have nailed it, very evocative of a stylized swan - it makes me think of the swan boat slowly carrying the Prince and Odette across the water at the end of Swan Lake, a ballet I had gone to see maybe 50 times when I had youthful hopes to become a dancer. Thank you for the lovely image and bringing back a happy memory for me

      Truly glad you liked this swan couldbe & many thanks for your very nice comment, I'm so glad you enjoyed this glass bowl, it took me alot of photo tries because such a soft color can look washed out in certain lighting

      Thanks Scott for your wonderful comment, I can understand why this piece can look smaller as in photos one and four I had to angle the dragon-phoenix so the full body would show in the thumbnail pic. My fave position of this animal is the shell-like wave of its back tail

      Phil thank you for your awesome compliments about this dragon piece, in the glass books I have it is pictured and listed under 'glass dragons' yet its original title was a phoenix, so although it is known as either or both, I felt a celebratory dragon is in keeping with a Chinese New Year theme, esp as this is my husband's birth year of the Ox - slow and steady, that describes him, also a very hard worker 'pulling the plow' - married to me, a facetious Monkey, he needs to be lol

      i never heard of this , but i loved this
    8. Mrstyndall Mrstyndall, 4 years ago
      Very cool piece, Jenni!

      The colour is stunning and the moulding beautiful.
      I love that these old patterns were used for so long. This is a quirky, gorgeous bowl Jenni.

      Thank you for the love Kurt & MrsT, it's totally appreciated & very kind of you

      apostata thank you for your great comment I am really glad you loved this piece, Imperial Glass was a great glassmaker that used many lovely glass designs & took molds from other famous co's including Heisey

      Thank you MrsT for your super comment, it was quite a cool find for me to actually land a neat dragon - it also came in clear glass but in color it's so much prettier

      Thanks Karen for your fabulous praise, I totally agree this is quirky & great, I truly love that shell-like curved tail it is like an ocean wave & the color is soft and flowy

      Another very nice piece Newfld. Do you have UV light? I wonder if it fluoresces? Thank you for sharing.

      Very grateful for the kind love

      Thank you so much Bruce for your wonderful praise & keen observ, I do have a black UV light & tried it on this dragon right after your suggestion but alas, this piece does not have a phosphorescent glow. The frosted green glass is pretty cool anyway right, it kinda gave off its own glow near a sunny window (photographed much too pale under regular indoor lighting), I'm so glad you liked it

      I missed this one, and I love the photography and conjures up an image as if you had discovered the Loch Ness Monster. Beautiful !~
    25. Newfld Newfld, 2 years ago
      Thanks Phil for your wonderful praise for this dragon, he is rather like the Loch Ness monster, very strange but fascinating. Always grateful for your kind words, I try really hard to showcase an item with good photos & happy to know it's appreciated :)
