Such an a adorable penguin! The color is rather unusual, but is very beautiful!
What a beautiful glass penguin! It's much larger than I first thought.
I love his stately grace, Altaglass will get a lot of nods today !~
Many thanks for the kind love

And thank you for your wonderful comments
DejaVu you're right, it's an unusual color glass for a couple reasons - the dark shading (they used to add black to glass animals yrs ago, maybe the added lead glass), and the tummy has that sfumato (feathering) technique, though it's basically a deep orange glass
Scott, yes it does appear taller probably due to the raised base or 'pedestal' frequently used on Altaglass animals. They are also pretty weighty glass
Phil it is quite a graceful penguin, with the open flippers it looks to be taking a bow! Altaglass made some lovely glass animals (the co. closed in '88) in great colors, I try to nab one whenever I can
Really appreciate the love for this glass penguin Faith, many thanks as ever
Many thanks Thomas for the kind love, glad you liked this glass penguin and always delighted whenever you stop by
Thank you Dean for the love for this Altaglass penguin, you had once mentioned you liked this co's glass & I hope to add more in future
