PINGVIN means penguin in Swedish, and this is what this two jugs resemble... well, it's not very clear in the big one, but the small jug just looks like a royal penguin (http://www.seaworld.org/animal-info/animal-bytes/animalia/eumetazoa/coelomates/deuterostomes/chordata/craniata/aves/sphenisciformes/royal-penguin.htm).
They're highly textured and the colour ranges from yellow to deep orange. they're absolutely great designs!

Thanks amber. Well, not only has to be super clean lined... a little bit of organic shapes are just great, if only as to mark a contrast, o even accentuatethe simple lines of the other pieces. hat's what I like from most of my Nanny Still stuff...
I am a little more messy but understand where you are at. I really like these and that blurred line you reference. Again, I am always drawn to a good orange color!
And it's rare to see orange in glass!
