      Just fabulous!
      How large is he?
      The horns are wonderful.

      Could it be Bimini?
    2. manginor manginor, 11 years ago
      About 6 inches tall. Very fragile thin glass. Weights nothing. I wish I knew its origins.

      You know, now that I think about it, this bull has very feminine qualities. The eyelashes and red mouth especially. What kind of liquid would you put in a bull like this? Brandy, hot sauce, whiskey, wine???

      Ferdinand?

      That's an inspired suggestion GSO!

      I've found a different one made in hungary by Nyiregyhaza.

      Sangria?

      It symbolizes "financial optimism and prosperity".

      She doesn't give dimensions but it looks small.
    10. manginor manginor, 11 years ago
      It is small. Again, very dainty. I really enjoyed the you tube video and will call my bull Ferdinand, for sure. About six inches tall. I will measure it when I'm home later. Now to check out these other links. This is great.
