Some glass from the menagerie

glass “squid”, originally uploaded by Cryptonaut.

I found this odd glass figurine at a vintage clothing store in Durham, NC. (The Electric Blender, which, tragically, has since gone out of business.) It has only six arms, and what appears to be whale flukes at the end of its tail, but the overall shape suggests that this is supposed to be a squid. Of course, the color scheme suggests an unholy union of a giraffe and a banana slug…
