    Hello I was wondering if anyone might know the maker of this dark purple glass paperweight swan. I took a pic of the tip of its tail to show the purple but the purple is so dark it looks black. Smooth polished pontil. Thank you for any info!

    Glass that looks black but shows purple when held up to light is usually called "black amethyst glass" by collectors :)
