4 FORMIA MURANO ART GLASS BIRD FIGURES: 4 assorted bird figures, all on clear glass bases, Formia Vetri Di Murano clear stickers with assorted other stickers. I got these at an auction From the prior collection of Sorrell Booke who portrayed "Boss Hogg" on "The Dukes of Hazzard". Tallest measures 12" h. x 5".
These are all wonderful but it's the sulfur crested cockatoo I love the most!
Great set of birds DoubleD. The first three birds, are part of Formia's Hamilton Collection, "Exotic Birds of the World". There are a total of eight birds in this collection and were designed by the Maestro Francesco in 1984 with a limited edition of 7,500 worldwide. The last bird, was also designed by Maestro Francesco and is part of Formia's "Magnificent Birds of Paradise Collection". These were a limited edition of 12,500 worldwide. Both sets have been long since retired. Birds from the first set come up for sale pretty frequently on ebay, so you should have no problem completing the collection if you wish. The other set, although a larger edition, don't come up as frequently.
