Fabulous colletion!...that second photo looks like they are all in a fish tank, love it...:-)
So you're the one buying them all! They are fabulous.
Stunning!
Stunning !!!!!
gosh I've aways loved these
only fish -my favourite is the cockerel!
Those are awesome. Do they cost much?
Thanks for the love and comments everybody. :-)
Vetraio50: hahaha, well....I didn't get the leaping trout recently sold on ebay.
I've been collecting them over the past two or three years, but most of the bottom shelf I bought from one person last month.
They are pretty much the only other thing that I collect, the other being Alsterfors glass....and then there's the Italian ceramics too I suppose...
Inky: that was the look I was going for :-P
behind that window is the conservatory extension, we put the window back in place, covered it a plastic sheet with a satin finish and put up a tube light, could do with another light though.
manddmoir: the cockerel is growing on me an awful lot....can't say much more in case I break any rules.
Carmenisacat: they cost me between £120-£250 each. They're not very comman so, I think it's a pretty good price. :)
Bellin68: Thanks Mister :-)
