It's a mystery
How cute is this:
I found it at one of the shops in town that sell handmade crafts. I can't decide what it is though. A dragon? A bird? A chicken? My grandmother has a shelf full of glass animals in her bedroom, so I think I'm going to send it to her. A few years ago I was looking at her collection and she said that she used to have more but that she had bumped the display case which caused a lot of them to fall and break. She said she was really mad at herself for doing it, but that she was also glad it had been her because she would have never forgiven anyone else. Then she gave me the stink-eye and I backed away from the shelf quickly but carefully. Okay, the part about the stink-eye isn't true. The backing away from the shelf after hearing the story is.
Here's a picture of it with my keys and Consumer Reports, just to give you an idea of how big the thing is.

I have a pig (from France) that is glass and equally as small as your mystery item. Someone gave it to me because they thought of me when they saw it: we're from that part of Louisiana known as "hog wallow land" according to old Louisiana maps, you know.

Debbie, thanks for the explanation because I would never have associated you with a tiny glass pig from France!
