Oh Chris!  Now I'm really hurt! :'(
I wouldn't post withoutyour blessing.....honest!
I think your little bird is a penguin, and is too nice to be  :or:, although I do also collect Chinese birds!
Shall I make a group of my little lot and post a picture? ;)

That changes my views considerably. I thought we were looking at a bird from the back -- the throat was the tail of the bird. Your bird makes more sense to me now.

Hi Rosie,

Thank you for the photo! Nice group!

I can confirm that it should read:  ACC Style ......


- the white swan looks like FM Ronneby, early 1960's

- the “elephant in a begging positionâ€, “duck looking back over its shoulder “, 
and the "bird in a blue version of this technique", all three look like V. Nason.


The "bird in a blue version of this technique" is interesting as this looks like the same pattern as in Chris' penguine.
Could you please take a few more photos so we can see the bird in more detail, thank you! Please also a photo of the base/bottom.

no, I don't think it's from China. The bird looks like good quality, so I would rule out China.
Think that's a bit unfair on the Chinese, to be honest, Ingela!  ;) Not all items from China can be disregarding due to quality issues, although I agree there is a lot of very cheaply-made glassware from there.

I suppose V.Nason is the other possibility, as has been discussed on GMB before. Did you ever close the gap between the two companies (FM Ronneby & V.Nason)?

Good Morning All!!
Here are a few shots of the blue bird, and I think Ingela is probably right Chris....the head and patters look VERY similar to your little Penguin. Do you agree??

Ingela, I meant to ask what ACC style refers to?
