Topic: White Bird -- Glass or Ceramic?

[TxSilver]

I recently bought this bird on eBay. It arrived today. It looked like unusual pasta glass, but it sounds like ceramic when I thump it. So is it ceramic that looks like glass? Or is it glass that sounds like ceramic? This one has me puzzled.

We may have to report you for cruelty to birds.    I would say glass on this occasion. The joins would be filled with glaze if it was ceramic.

This is one of those pieces that puts the senses at odds. I remember the last puzzling piece I had turned out to be blanc de chine. Still another that felt like a ceramic coffee mug turned out to be contemporary North American glass. These puzzling pieces make me feel really dumb. :spls:

Anita!!  Don't thump it, just think yourself lucky that I didn't see it first! How did I miss it??!! :cry:

[TxSilver]

Ah, but rosieposie, what is it?

[rosieposie]

That is a good question Anita!!  The first thing I would have done, would have been to ask the GMB....who else has all the answers? :rah:

I vote glass, i am sure i have seen this somewhere , i would have bought it . jp

[rosieposie]

How come so few of us saw it!!
If you didn't see it JP, then I wouldn't stand a chance. You always seem to 'Pip' me to the post.
I vote glass as well, by the way.
Are you selling it Anita??

I'm still in the "What is it?" phase. I'm sure it will appear in the store after I figure out what it is. At the moment I'm still trying to figure out if my Pillsbury Doughbird is treasure or trinket.

I ran into a couple of bird bowls in the last few days. This is one of them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180560385934. The form of the birds is so much like mine. It was particularly evident in the other bowl, which unfortunately I didn't bookmark. I believe these bowls are from Mexico. So maybe my bird is Mexican, also. I'm still not certain mine is glass, but it probably is.

I better paste some pictures of my bird. The link in the OP is probably going to be gone soon.
