I found a warthog in a Salvos store a few weeks ago. Thought it was different. Clear glass.  Id never seen a warthog in glass before and i was surprised to know that Swaziland was making glass!! Still has label. I cant seem to upload my pics. Sorry!

This little duck of mine is also Ngwenya Glass.  It has the same label as the OP's, but on its base.

It's 3cm tall and 5.5cm long.  I also have one of their rhino's, but not sure which cabinet it's in atm.  ::)

I believe they're still producing the Rhino's.  This is the "small" size.
