Topic: Small blue Penguin chick ...any ideas on the maker please ?

[Baked_Beans]

Has a polished base and is 3 1/4 inches high. Greeny blue has pinched in eyes (they look proud in the photo). Any ideas on the maker please. Ta, Mike.

looks very similar in colour and style to a little bird i had a few years back which was signed and for the life of me cannot remember who it was signed by, may have been joe something

Is he possibly a Wedgwood second? Don't know if there is a Wedgwood penguin, but if there is, that shiny base with the small scar would make him one. Seconds are unmarked and the flaw is often that the pontil mark couldn't be completely removed.

Ummm, Caithness seconds are quite often clearly marked, Christine  - with a thick CllG. It's often hard to tell what's actually wrong with them too.

The body of this penguin looks slightly Boffo-ish, but the head and beak don't. Sorry I can't be of more help. It's got me curious!

[Baked_Beans]

I too thought it was Boffo-ish style and the colour looks a bit like Kingfisher Blue...but I read on WF.com that smaller penguin chicks were not in production and only made as one-off friggers .

Wedgwood seconds aren't marked though, I know, I pick them up for my sister.  :kissy:

Anyone have the Susan Tobin book?

[jakgene]

Yes I have Susan's book - according to her listing the lilliput penguin was only made in clear. Also the photo of it (fig 15 doesn't look like this one - the beak is shorter). Jackie, West Oz

sorry - clicked too soon - also the body on the wedgwood one is thickest at the base - graduates down. Jackie
