      just a pair of babies how nice
    5. LaurenRedmond LaurenRedmond, 3 years ago
      Beautiful swans, one is pink and dusky like dawn and the others blue and cool like the evening... I’d both call them Odile and Odette because it seems very appropriate?! Both are so elegant too, they make a beautiful pair

      Thanks Dave for your fabulous comment & glad you found a lovely Swedish glass swan, yours has a really pretty design and could be a Mantorp as well. Swans were a popular subject with Swedish glassmakers and it's great to see all the varieties

      Thank you Scott for your awesome comment & I'm glad you enjoyed this swan duo, I thought despite the slight size difference they looked pretty complementary together

      Phil thank you for your always super praise, I like to post pairs of glass animals once in awhile & swans esp as they have that graceful gliding on water look

      Thanks so much kivatinitz for your lovely comment & great observ that these swans are both small and baby-colored pink & blue, they would look perfect in a little child's room or nursery decor

      Lauren I love your imaginative & fantastic comment, Odette & Odile from Swan Lake I will call them! Shall we make the pastel pink one lovely Odette, and the bold blue definitely suits Odile. One of my fave dvds is the classic Swan Lake with Margot Fonteyn & Rudolf Nureyev, her dance-acting as the treacherous Odile was amazing and she nailed the difficult 36 fouettes (spins), what a spectacular exciting ballerina she was. You have given me the idea to put these glass swans on my shelf of ballet dvds, I have several Swan Lakes & always remember my dad bringing me to the Met Opera House in NYC to see the visiting English Royal Ballet perform it yrs ago

      You're so right vintagelamp these swans have interesting designs, one with wings and one without, and the blue bubble glass is intriguing plus I cannot figure how they got those pink brushstrokes inside the glass, talk about talented glassmaking! Thank you for your wonderful comment

      Thank you jb for your great kind praise for my pink & blue swans, I think my underlying theme this wk is Valentine's Day and what is more romantic than a pair of swans right :) Hope you have a great Valentine's weekend my friend
