Description: | This model of the Painted Pufflet Sea Anemone was made by the Blaschkas, a family of highly skilled glassworkers. Several lots of models were bought for the Newcastle Museum between 1865 and 1870. The Painted Pufflet lives in British waters. Unfortunately, the top is snapped off this model, and despite skilled conservation work it has not been possible to replace it.
