Animal figures to appeal to all sorts of collectors were popular at Kanawha Glass Co. Glass lends itself to lots of whimsical shapes. These solid animals figures are very heavy and are fun to hold. They are also very smooth and the combination of heavy, cold, and smooth makes them fun to hold.
At Kanawha Glass company animal figures were created both by free-form hand-blowing items and by molding them.
Until Ebay came along I didn't have any idea of how many people like to collect a particular kind of animal in as many shapes, formats and sizes as they can. The Kanawha Glass sales team was obviously aware of this, and produced a range of products that would appeal to as many glass animal collectors as possible.
I included glass mushrooms with the animal figures. I suppose a mushroom isn't really an animal, although some botany textbooks will say they aren't plants either. Be that as it may, the solid glass mushrooms as works of glass art, are obviously similiar to the glass animals.

You see here a spatter cap mushroom on the left in red glass, and a controlled bubble mushroom in orange on the right. Keeping control of the bubbles obviously required a lot of skill on the part of the glass blower. Click here to go mushroom hunting on Ebay! |

Here is a small Kanawha Glass Co. horse in green and clear glass. This is a very delicate figure which doesn't have the heavyness of many of these animal figures. Click here to see if there are any Kanawha horses for sale on Ebay. |
