I don't really know anything about this other than my Grandmother had it on display along with a similar piece that is in the shape of a basket in brown's and burgandy...It's really pretty and in perfect condition no chip's or anything. It was up on the attic floor just collecting dust with all the other treasure's.

it beatiful trying to fine what glass company made these swans
Thank's Denise...I am going to keep researching....I will put a pic up of the other one I have as well....
This is a slag-glass swan -- made by INDIANA GLASS CO according to this website, which pictures one exactly like yours -- http://hcgat.com/swans4.htm -- ebay values aren't much, but it is a pretty piece.
Thank's again..what a thrill to see those in different color's. I can't believe it never got broken or chipped after all these year's... I have another that is a basket design.
It is marvelous piece of graphic art and the colors are so vibrant and
delicacy of the swan's neck and beak is unbelievable true to life. The
thinking of this unique idea is for a bowl is god's gift. I wish i could see
this piece personaly.
I have several of these pieces and some baskets also. they are beautiful.I would consider selling a few.
first thought...Wow!
Thanks for sharing.
These were not made by Indiana glass. They were made by a company in Oklahoma and therefore go by the name Sooner Glass. Very popular in the 1970's.
Did you ever find out any information on it or the value of it I have a similar one just a different color.
Do you still have the 2 swans?
I'm from Oklahoma, and my grandmother had one of these, too.
