Murano ??? controlled bubble pheasants

[Iluvglass]

I have a pair of controlled bubble art glass pheasants. Label reads "Silver Brook S.G. Any help would be appreciated. thank you

I was able to find Silverbrook Art Glass that I think may be on Long Island, NY -- not sure about this. It was founded by some Czech brothers. I found a couple of things they made that were of the old Bohemian style. Your birds are probably not Murano. This style of bubble was not popular on Murano.

Wow, that is amazing! I grew up in Long Island and never knew about this. Admittedly, I was quite a distance away in Flanders.

Here is the obituary with some info on Silverbrook.

and here is a page of a Silverbrook catalog:

Henry Kreutz
Henry Kreutz of Riverhead died at Central Suffolk Hospital on Feb. 6 at the age of 90.He was born in Czechoslovakia to Frank Kreutz Sr. and Theresa Hoffman on Sept. 18, 1911. After high school, he attended a trade school and served an apprenticeship to a glassblower before coming to the U.S. in 1942 and starting Silverbrook Art Glass Works in Flanders. He never married, but according to his nephew Frank Kreutz, "he had a full life and enjoyed his profession."
