I have gone on a bit of a buying spree recently and have added three ‘lions’ to my collection.  This one arrived first and did not disappoint!

I had seen this piece just once or twice online and then finally decided that I had to have him at a reasonable price from an ebay seller.

A seller on Etsy confirmed that this was a piece of Viking Glass.  She was selling the same piece, with the label, and was the original purchaser. She guessed she had purchased it in the ’70s or ’80s.

This is a heavy piece weighing in at 3 pounds.

I just love the pose – so relaxed!
