Really cute turtle with great colour! He's so cheerful and summery, reminds me of a beach toy, or even a bath toy (I think I'm remembering one I used to have?!)
But ..is he a paperweight? He reminds me of one actually?
Mantorp were one of a few in Sweden that made controlled bubbles in their animals.
You find the best stuff Jenni!
With thanks to you all for the love

Thank you Searching for your awesome praise, this little turtle does seem very alive & on the move, and aqua blue glass with a little sun nearby makes a good pic 4 me
Lauren I don't know if this is a paperweight but it certainly could be, it's a nice compact size. You're absolutely spot on it really looks like a bath toy, can you see him just swimming about, great perception :) Thank you for your wonderful compliments & super imagery
That's really true Karen & I never realized it before, Mantorp did make more bubble glass animals of the Swedish makers, thinking back I do have alot of them. Aw, I try to search around for interesting animals as I've posted so many (can't believe it's been 5 yrs already!), thank you my friend for your very kind words and terrific insight
Thank you kivatinitz for loving this blue turtle and others of mine today, you are very kind and I'm truly glad you liked them
What a wonderful little turtle!!
Thank you Scott for your super comment/love for this bubble glass turtle, it is really cute and compact, one of the reasons I really like Mantorp animals :)
Thank you DejaVu for the love for this Mantorp turtle, I appreciate all your recent loves and have kept a list not to forget to thank you for all!
