    That's all I know of Blake's poem, so here is some info on this glass tiger.

    Made by Kurata Glass Japan and probably 1970s or early 80s. Before they moved to Tsukiyono anyway.

    Kurata have not been big makers of animals, that seems to be Marti Multi Glass' realm, but they did make a series of Chinese Zodiac animals of which this is one.

    I think they have done a nice job here. Cream underbelly, lovely orange body and black stripes, and nicely modelled features.

      I knew this had to be yours when I spotted it. This is really amazing work, the placement of everything is right where it's supposed to be. It looks 'painted'. Wish i could see this in person!
