Glass day at the flea market - bottles, stoneware and Murano

[treasurekidd]

I picked up a few items from a local flea market this morning. Two old bottles, a local half pint milk bottle ($2) and nicely embossed beer/soda bottle ($3) , a signed stoneware honey jar ($2), and a really nice amber Murano glass pheasant sculpture ($4). I know the stoneware piece isn't antique, I believe it to be a 1960s tourist type piece, but it was to nice a piece to ignore for $2. Local bottles are always hit or miss, but I've been collecting for many years and have never seen these, so I'm thinking they're scarce. The Murano piece I know nothing about, but I saw that Diggumup just bought a parrot, so for $4 I couldn't let it get away. I threw all of them up on ebay at a $9.99 start price, so we'll see what happens. Any info on any of these would be welcome. Thanks for looking!

Here's the Murano pheasant. Any ideas on value? I looked it up on ebay, seems like a lot of similar but different pices and prices all over the place. Thanks again!

It looks like the style of birds that were made in Murano and imported by Jordan Import Co. (JI Co) of New York. The bill, crest, and sommerso style looks like many of their other birds. Too bad about the small chip on the tail. That will keep it from selling well, no matter how small.
