A collection of eighteen glass elephant figurines and decorative items including examples by Mdina Glass and Enesco. The group comprises a variety of decorative objects produced using diverse glassmaking techniques, such as hand-blown cased glass, pressed glass, and the use of metallic foil inclusions. Notable pieces include a large figurine in transparent emerald green glass with visible mold seams, and two pressed glass elephant head bowls in amber and yellow-green uranium style glass. The lot also features a decorative stand with a clear circular dish supported by a trio of cobalt blue glass elephants. Other figurines are executed in clear glass with internal dark swirls, smoke grey, and solid black, some of which exhibit silver-tone dappling or gold-tone aventurine effects. One figurine bears a black and white adhesive foil label reading MDINA GLASS MALTA below a logo of a castle tower and a Maltese cross. A further piece carries a red butterfly-shaped adhesive label on the base reading Enesco with MADE IN TAIWAN REPUBLIC OF CHINA printed below.
