    These glass lollies were a little Christmas gift to myself.
    Sold as Murano but I really don't know for sure. They are certainly a cut above the usual standard for this type of novelty item, with really nice colour combinations & fancy designs. I think they are probably fairly recent production.
    It was the three with rainbow stripes that really sold me on them. I will buy anything with a rainbow on it, LOL...

      And now we're all back to "anxious objects"...?? ;-) ;-) :-) :-)

      You have such a gift for finding and showing such little fragile glass things to the rest of us Marin -- THANK YOU once again! All the best, Tim

      Thanks so much, ho2cultcha!

      Thanks also, Tim, & yes the anxious objects are back again!
      Things like this really fascinate me, I love objects that create an illusion of something else, particularly if the reality suggests something far different. Glass seems to be an ideal medium to achieve that goal, its inherent fluidity being able to render so many forms & textures.
