Default Fish and Duck pieces

I bought this fish and duck recently and believe they might be vintage Murano. The fish is 12.5" tall and 12" wide, the duck is 12.5" tall and 6" wide. The duck is flawless, the fish has a single strand of glass the seems to be on it like a hair. Are these Murano? . Thank you.

They are both solid glass and have a thick coat of clear glass before any of the inner color starts. Just wanted to add that in.

Very nice bird and fish, congratulation, both Murano. Now I have the same problem as I had with your pheasant. I canīt give any information about the maker. Depending on the glass it must be the same. I hope TxSilver will see your thread she knows nearly everything about Murano animals. I collect vases so I have less knowledge of animals, though.

I have just looked, but I don't recognize these pieces. I'll look through my files to see if I can find this decor made by any of the companies. It is the first time I've seen this specific decor.

Would you like me post any more pictures of them? Closer up shot? I appreciate the help.

Your pictures are fine. I just don't recognize the decor. The base shot Clifford asked for would be good. He might have some idea. They fish and duck are very nice, but I'm with Clifford in wondering if they are Murano or something else.
