Here is a 6"H green bubble glass penguin with curved body, on a rounded base. Made by Altaglass of Alberta Canada ca 70s-80s, with two original labels. One of several different penguin designs by Altaglass









Great color!
With sincere thanks to you all for the love, you are so nice to think of me and I truly appreciate it so much
Dave, it's a great shade of green isn't it, not that common to find in glass...sort of in the grassy, leafy, lime family & a good color for Fall. Thank you for your super comment
The pinnacle of cuteness! Always a good thing to have those stickers for identification!
Many thanks Bernard & DejaVu for the love, glad you both liked this Altaglass penguin
DejaVu you are so right about labels, and this penguin not only had two, it has the AG imprint on the bottom as well. Only problem was that big leaf label cast dark shading in the glass which blocks the pretty green bubble glass. But he's a beauty, I think it's my fifth Altaglass penguin, all different shapes & colors. Thanks as always for your wonderful comment
You really have to love (as a Canadian) that wonderful tag on the front there so bold it leaves and needs no other confirmation !~
Phil I absolutely adore that lovely maple leaf sticker, it's rare to find a whole one on an Altaglass piece but this is a great one. Canada's maple leaf symbol is so beautiful, that's probably the prettiest leaf of all the trees, I remember a favorite Italian film whose beginning montage had leaves incl maple with the sun dappling through, it was called Garden of the Finzi Continis. Thank you as ever for your awesome comment
Many thanks vintagelamp & John for the love, glad you both liked this penguin & very grateful for your kindness
Wonderful penguin Jenni!!! I love the green color, which makes him exquisite!!
