On close inspection (under magnifying glass) the base of this piece as not been made separately and then attached to the lady. It as been produced in one solid piece, and yet neither glass-colour-type spills, blends or bleeds into the other at all. The dark/stain as seen in my photos isn&#039;t glue of any kind. </p><p><br /></p><p>It has the appearance of being Scandinavian perhaps, or similar to figurines produced by Leerdam (Holland/Dutch) but??? </p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t say its an &#039;antique&#039; in date, but It isn&#039;t a recent modern-day piece either, though I could be wrong?&nbsp; The quality of the glass itself is good &amp; weighty and apart from the lady&#039;s face and just a few of the grapes she is carrying, all other surfaces (including the underside of the base) have been matt-satin frosted. She stands just over 12 inches, and so any ideas please??? </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]309227[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]309228[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]309229[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]309230[/ATTACH]</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
