Elephants, hooked

Pirelli lampwork.
1959 catalogue page 19.
Set 3, 2 lots
Manufacturer: Pirelli Glass Ltd
Description

Made at Pirelli's Potters Bar works.

Coloured and Crystal with coloured ears/tail. Designed so that the trunks could hook into the tail of the one in front. Nice that each elephant was still very different too.

Mostly designed by Edward Robbins, a scientific glassmaker who later emigrated to Canada and continued to create lampwork figures in a Mall.

All of the figures are shown in the Glass Zoo and mostly with multiple views and examples of actual figures. On request, I will add colour examples here but otherwise just use the catalogue images here.
