    Hello Everyone! Doe anyone recognize this critter? I think it's a ram. It measures about 3 1/4" long and 2 1/4" tall It has a nicely polished base. Does anyone know who might have made him and when? Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

    He's adorable, Don, and thinks he's rather regal with his snout in the air!! But I can't help other than to admire him!

    Yes, he is, thank you, Any Jewelry and thank you, Aquitaine. I've already decided he'll join my little herd of glass animals.

    I think he looks ram-bunctious.

    There's an excellent couple of Facebook pages called Heart of Glass and J.C.C . Pop him on there and ask for Rosie Pearce. She'll know.

    Very cute -- lots of personality. I hope you find who made him.

    Hello Everyone - reporting back. I joined Heart of Glass and had a very helpful back and forth with Rosie Pearce. She helped me reach the conclusion that my ram is most likely Chinese. The determining factor was the bottom. The fact that it is not as clearly polished as the rest of the ram is an indication of probable Chinese production. Thanks you, Ownedbybear, for directing me to this site and to everyone for your help and support.
