Another piece of our collection. This Marble horse was giving to us by a friend. No Markings, but a cool little item to have displyed. Doubt there will be anything about it, but curious if anyone might know about it.
I reckon it's marbleized glass!
Vute "Bimini-style" figure!
Sorry cute!
This is generally refered to as Lampwork. The animal is created with glass rods and a torch. I am sure if you google lampwork you will find a good definition and I think that there are videos too perhaps on you tube.
I hope this is useful. I collect lampwork animals. Thank you Vetraio. I was under the impression that Bimini animals were blown glass, not solid as this one appears. There is a terrific site called Glass Zoo created by Frank Andrews. If you like glass animals it is heaven.
Sincerely,
Lisa
