Default I.d. swans

Hi again Jackiegail0 the little swan on the left looks to me if it could be a Salviati salt ,possibly in glass with a uranium content ,you would need to test with blacklight to be sure,as to the other one I have my doubts that it is Murano, however Anita I hope will come along and give her opinion as she is more Knowledgeable than me on Murano birds.Cliff P.S On second thoughts I think the second swan is Murano

The swan dishes or salts are very tough. They look so much alike and everyone did them. This one is more AVeM-like to me. The wings are swept back and pressed together to form the tail. AVeM did many swan dishes like this... but I am not sure that others didn't do the same. One thing that makes me think that it isn't AVeM is the crest. AVeM crests tend to be like a wisp. There is a good chance that this one is by Salviati (or other maker -- yes, it is frustrating!) I usually call these swans Venetian glass without trying to attribute them further.

I am clueless on the big yellow bird.
