Research - Range of Birds and other Animals with "BD" Rooster Labels
Back to Glass Encyclopedia Home
I've set this page up for research purposes, to make it easier to compare examples of a particular distinctive range of birds and fish, that can sometimes be found with the Murano "Rooster" labels, bearing the factory code "BD", which is unknown for now. They can also occasionally be found with the code "AL", also unknown. I think it is safe to say, from the closeness in style and colours used, that most of these are made by the same factory. There are also a few here that may turn out to be by different factories, due to some noticeable differences.

Notes: With no base, and colours that seem different to the others in this range, it is possibly that these three are by a different factory. Cenedese is sometimes suggested as the maker for these, as they made swans in a similar pose. However they still seem too different to me. I include a couple of Cenedese examples below for comparison. More research needed!
