Mere's Green SwanMy mother loves glass images of swans and has a collection of a number of very pretty items.  This one (posted some time ago) is my unidentified  favourite.  The photo doesn’t do it justice.

Unfortunately it took a fall and a wing broke off.  My mom repaired it and it displays beautifully.

I have added to her collection on and off over the years.  This weekend we were visiting her and I took this Westmoreland piece.  Westmoreland SwansI wondered if she would accept it as she has sworn, many times, that she is DONE, DONE, DONE, collecting swans.

Alas…it did not make the trip home with us and I assume has been allocated a space.

It is a pretty little item – three swan heads decorate its sides.

Kovar’s Westmoreland Glass: 1950-1984 assigns the use and indicates that this piece was made in many colours.

She also identifies that this was also reproduced in milk glass, along with other colours.   Nonetheless I am going to assume it is Westmoreland, despite a lack of mark.
