SWAROVSKI 1997 ANNUAL EDITION DRAGON 208398
Description
Swarovski code numbers: 208 398 / 208398 / DO1X971
Available during 1997, the Dragon was the second of the “Fabulous Creatures” trilogy, and is made from mainly from clear crystal. The dragon has frosted crystal to the end of the tail and around the back of it’s head. It has red eyes. Early versions of the dragon look as if they have no logo etched onto them, but it can be found if you look carefully on the underside of one of the feet. (Place dragon infront of you, tail facing you, and then look at the underside of the foot that is infront of your right hand. Use bright light and magnification and you will find it – but patience is a virtue – as they say!!) Because collectors could not find the logo, Swarovski added another logo to the tail of the piece. A display stand was available separately for this piece. A clear crystal plaque to display with the “Fabulous Creatures” series was also available.
