Tiny glass figures/ pieces

Can someone tell me what I have here? I also have a really small coiled glass snake with blue eyes (like a few of these) somewhere around.

Thanks!

 

They look like lampwork figures of no particular function. The glass equivalent of balloon animals.

 

Little lampwork novelties. Often sold in glass shops and factory shops as inexpensive trinkets. Some older ones are collectible. These: http://www.theglassmuseum.com/bimini.htm are wonderful.

 

Thanks, Moreother and Owned!

 

Found the snake. Coolest one, in my opinion. Here he is . . .

 

I have one:


And I had another:

(but I sold it... for very little)

It looks like you have a couple of hand-made marbles there; they might be marketable. You should check eBay.

 

I'll do that, thx, mos. Dig your glass pieces, BTW.

 

I love the snake!

 

Thx, Ft!

 

It is remarkable... and unfortunate... how such a skilled craft could be worth so little. I tried working with hot glass several times. It is very difficult!
