I found this tiny glass owl at a thrift store and I adore it. My MIL has hinted several times that she loves it. Can anyone help me find her one before I break down and give her mine?

I would get something [similar like this](https://merc.li/uA8z4pvpb) for your MIL and keep the original for yourself.

I didn't see your comment until now. I'm happy the MOD gave you the point. I appreciate you finding that and I am going to take your advice! Thank you!

As the comments on reddit are having issues at the moment and yours preceded mine, assigning the point to you. Moderator marking Found!

This seems fairly close: https://www.etsy.com/listing/614431312/hand-blown-glass-owl Whole bunch of glass owls on etsy. https://www.etsy.com/market/hand_blown_glass_owl


gourdhorder

Excellent, that is close enough for me. I can get her one of these and I'm sure she'll love it. Edit: Thank you! Found!


gourdhorder

I've searched the following words (in many different combinations) miniature, small, tiny, owl, glass, gold, 2", handmade, handblown, 2 inches, collector. I've found several similar but not the same one. I think it's glass and I doubt it's real gold. But what do I know? Nothin, that's why I'm here.

That's good advice, I can't believe I didn't think of that. Appreciate the suggestion. Edit: Tried, but no luck. Still hoping someone knows something.

Closest I found after 10 mins of looking was this [https://www.etsy.com/listing/561976230/vintage-owl-paperweight-figurine-clear](https://www.etsy.com/listing/561976230/vintage-owl-paperweight-figurine-clear)

I laughed when I clicked. For no reason but just the idea of her MIL comparing this to the coveted owl of her DIL. It’s cute on its own but feels more abstract


Spikas

Haha I know right, it's "The glass owl from Wish" equivalent lol

I found [this on etsy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/561976230/vintage-owl-paperweight-figurine-clear?click_key=564d7270c481b653e3a5befd96e46d6a7f56eedd%3A561976230&click_sum=35e3585a&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=clear+gold+glass+owl+vintage&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&tr_rank=1&organic_search_click=1&pro=1)

Image search is having trouble with the color, and being glass. As it should be clear, can you post a pic of it against a white background?


gourdhorder

That's a very good point! Here's a pic of a different background. [https://imgur.com/a/BkEhzOV](https://imgur.com/a/BkEhzOV)

Aw, Nah. She's the best! And that sub makes me appreciate her even more.

Nice. I lucked out and have a cool MIL, too.
