Here are three variations of glass swan #802 by Rainbow Art Glass of Huntington West Virginia:
avocado green 3"H
cobalt blue 3 1-2"H
amber 3 1-2"H
They date from the 1960s-1970s, two still have the original labels
OMG! How gorgeous is this group!
The combination of these muted colours is so good. I'm so used to seeing the quite primary colours of Japanese glass so these shades really appeal in their difference.
Very lovely collection of swans, or bevy as I should say! I love all of them and the bright choice of color they’re all in- my favorite is the blue because I love blue in general, but all are fab! Very sleek and simple swan design too!
All so beautiful in their lineup, your collection is massive !~
Thank you everyone for the very kind love

Karen thank you for your awesome praise for my swan group, I've had this trio for awhile & thought it was time they made an appearance :) You are right to notice the basic colors of the 60s-70s US glass animals, these three are among their most popular, and I have to look to international glassmakers for more diversity - your Japanese glass is so beautiful & creative, for example I love the white brushstroke look of your glass snake & similar animals, and the Japanese glass color spectrum is just delightful
Thank you Lauren for your fab comment & finding these swans lovely, I tried in the thumbnail to make them appear gliding on a lake - Swan Lake in fact lol! To me there is nothing more peaceful & serene than the sight of a swan swimming across water, perhaps why I have quite alot of these birds
Phil thanks so much for your wonderful appreciation of my swan lineup and collection, you are the greatest guy and may I say that your own collection is absolutely tops, as well as your amazing photography talent. I think we develop the collecting bug from a young age, for instance I recall starting with horse figurines because I was taking horseback riding lessons (typical for a Sag!) and always loved all animals
Many thanks vintagelamp & aura for the thoughtful love for my Rainbow swan trio, they are bowing their heads in gratitude for your kindness :)
Many thanks for the love Ben, I'm always really happy when you enjoy one of my posts and appreciate your thoughtfulness
Thanks jb & Searching for the kind love for this glass swan trio, you guys are so great and ever thoughtful
