Question Fratelli Toso bird & Seguso rabbit???

Hi there, unfortunately I'm not much of an expert but I'm slowly learning and my collection is growing I picked up these two pieces from the market. I think they are Murano but not really sure as of course there are no stickers attached. The bird is appox 75mm tall and the rabbit is 210mm tall. The bird has gold inclusions in the branch and reminds me of Fratelli Toso. I was also wondering if the rabbit could be Seguso. Has anyone seen something similar or have any ideas?

Thanks for taking the time to look, much appreciated Kel

What a great rabbit! I love it. I have a couple of live ones running around the floor all day long.

The bird is millefiori, but not Fratelli Toso. I am not certain who did the work. Maybe it is Bucella or Gambarro & Poggi. These companies, along with others, did many millefiori pieces. Even though it is not Fratelli Toso, the bird is a favorite among millefiori collectors.
