Here is a 6 1-2"W green glass fish (possibly an arctic grayling) made by glass artist Paul Hoff for the World Wildlife Fund endangered animals series (70s-80s) produced by Kosta Boda Glass. Etch signed on base. Photo #4 is a shelf from my KB/Reijmyre endangered fish collection, new green one in front









What a great collection you have. So many beauties!
Cool last photo!! love the northern pike (or musky?) in the middle!! Funny that WWF does not give types of fish that they are.
Very nicely provenanced signature on bottom and looks formidable on display. To see it in a fish school in your last pic is so exciting for us all to see, AND your commitment here is commendable, BRAVO !~
Many thanks everyone for the thoughtful love & enjoying this WWF glass fish
Special thanks for your terrific comments guys!
DejaVu I'm kinda proud of my WWF glass fish & animals, I've accumulated @ 90% of them over the years which was tough because most came from other countries esp Sweden
Rob, yes the yellow pike is one of my favorites too, I love when the artist used nice colors, most of the other animals are in neutrals like grey & brown. I know, it's so odd about the fish being unnamed when most of the animals have their Latin names etched in, go figure right
Phil, it is indeed a fish school! It was a bright sunny day when I took the shelf picture plus it is in a mirrored display case so they look more colorful than my usual post colors, but I always take pix in daylight to enhance my subjects
Many thanks Thomas for the thoughtful love, I'm very grateful
Thanks as ever JB for the love, it's always warmly appreciated
