Bought this elephant half year ago. Heavy piece, almost 3 kg 28 cm height.
I hope anyone knows the glassfactory made it. Thank you for your help. |

Archimede Seguso elephants like this normally don't have tusks. It may be a design I'm not familiar with, but I believe it was made by someone else. Who, I don't know. Maybe Formia?

Thank you for your view Anita. I guess also itīs not A. Seguso, looks realy like Formia. The elephant is the only animal in my collection but I keep it cause itīs lovely.
For your information: "Leslie Pina - Archimede Seguso, mid-mod glass from murano, lace & stone, see page 156", an elephant with tusks ![]() Horst |

Yes, some A. Seguso elephants have tusks, but the ones that are like yours usually don't, from what I've seen. Many companies made the elephant paperweights like yours, but the type of sommerso core is not one that many companies would have made. It reminds me of Formia and Oball, but there are others that could have made it. The work is better than most Oball I've seen, so I thought maybe Formia -- just a guess.
