- Curator's comments
- The 'Fauna' series was designed in 1969-1970 and eventually included over twenty pieces, almost as many as 'Flora'. The unusual pattern on the glass depicts animals and people in nature. This glass is probably model 2180, a beer glass. Images and references to this design can be found in the following publications:
