Blenko? Scandinavian? Glass paperweight

Hi folks! Got this large, 2 1/2 pound paperweight or bookend. Have scoured the web for days trying to find one just like it. Along the way, I have come upon many possible makers, but nothing conclusive (Blenko, Orrefors, Pukeburg (berg), Ittalia). Other items in this lot we got were from Sweden, so was leaning towards that or Finland. BUT, cannot find it anywhere and the label/or price sticker on the back is gone (residue shown in pic #3). 5 3/4" length x 2 1/4" width x 5" height. Any ideas out there?

Also, how would you describe the texture on it?

 

There is one on Ebay right now (Maker unknown)

I am leaning towards Scandinavian myself

 

I would not try to describe the texture on it other than to just say it is "textured" glass. I do not think this is Orrefors.

 

I agree not Orrefors.
I found a couple listed as Kosta Boda
Skruf is another to investigate

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Glass-Chick...481?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27f2891471 if it is this one, it is not the same...

 

it has an Iitala look to me. They also tend to label, rather than marking the glass. Jorma Vennola did birds for them, and yours looks like a giant one. Google on his name and TIU eggcup, you'll see what I mean.

 

OK, then, Orrefors is out. Textured is a good word for it, thanks!

 

Kosta has definite possibilities...checking Skruf now...

 

Thanks Owned, am checking it now...

 

Happy,

When I said there was one on Ebay, I meant there was one identical on Ebay

It may be identical, but the seller is only guessing.

 

Oh, I see now, sorry bout that. I was searching "chicken" not "rooster", so I did not see that one. Looks like it is not worth that much. Maybe I will use it for a free weight, I am such a wimp that 2.5# will be hard for me!

 

Yeah, I hate to give something up until I have an ID for sure...looking for this item, I found Lisa Larson co-designed some of the Kosta zoo series (though I do not see mine anywhere). Interesting 'cause this lot had many of Larson's figures.

Also found this along the way, interesting!

I actually found it doing a Google search for "Cockerel"

 

That is whay I said in my original post "Maker Unknown"

 

I checked everyone's ideas, but still not sure. I did read that Kosta Boda also did a Farm Series, back in the 70s, but I have not found any Chicken versions that match mine.

 

One other thought. I've a Hadeland cat that has very similar embossing and facial features.

 

Sorry to revive this thread but I have the same paperweight and came across this page while searching. The only difference is that mine is smaller - 2 5/8" long and 2 5/8" tall. It's about 1 1/4" thick. Just thought I would that size to this record.
