Swan set in glass. Another item I have found which belonged to my parents. The detail is great. Sorry I do not know when, how, what or where it was bought, but it looks great on display. Needs a bit of a clean, but I dare not touch it! Appears to be porcelain swans set in glass, on a wooden plinth. Date unknown. Probably modern.
