    Fifth Avenue Glass Toucan
    Approximately 7 1/2"

    This is a glass Toucan made by fifth avenue, a company that makes lots of different decorative objects like this. From what I have found, they made 2 versions of this bird...the other would be an 11" version. It is signed by the artist on the bottom, although I can't read the signature.

    Can be used as a paperweight or just decoration.

    Searching for info, it's funny how every seller that has a glass object for sale tries to associate it with"murano glass"....

      I guess it does look like Toucan Sam..ha ha. And looking at the difference between toucans and pelicans...one of the main differences are the habitat and colors..so by the colors I believe you are correct...a toucan. Good catch..

      5th Avenue is just an import, export company who markets crystal and glass items made in different places. Not sure who actually made your item.

      5th Avenue is (or was) "a leading supplier of crystal giftware, tableware and decorative accessories", according to a variety of their press releases available on encyclopedia.com. They are (or were) a division of Crystal Clear Industries.
