[andy666]

Cn anyone help in the id of this paperweight please as i bought it at a fair today and thought that it looked nice . (i think that it is a paperweight ?)

Mod: This has been moved to Glass from Paperweights for a better chance of ID.

Hi Andy are there any marks on the base? It looks very similar to ducks made by Wedgwood Glass.

[andy666]

No marks to the base it is unpolished.

[PAUL H]

Hi Andy what are the dimensions and weight.. I still think its Wedgwood.

Hi Andy

Here's a few Whitefriars Dilly Ducks to compare yours to.

Hi Andy.. I have just found a photo of this one which I sold recently it had Wedgwood acid etched on base, very similar to yours.

[andy666]

It stands 6" high and has no markings to the base , Also it is 5" from the tail 6to the front and due to the previous picture i now think that it is wedgewood . Any idea of the value as i bought this today for only £4 at a fair?

[PAUL H]

Hi Andy size wise it fits.. as for price I sold mine for £22 to a collector. Regards Paul.
