I've seen something similar to this effect advertised as Cello glass? does that sound right?
Might be worth looking into perhaps, just an idea.

That's interesting, Cello glass, I googled and found some pictures here: http://xystos.co.uk/Cello

Could it be from China :huh:

I've seen many of them being sold on ebay as Cello, but I've never thought to check to try and read a label.  I just assumed they were made in China. 
edited:  On  previous threads it was thought Cello was an Indian maker that possibly went out of business in 2006 if I read correctly.

Stu is the base of yours unpolished?  It looks like its ground but not polished clear?

Some of you may remember I had a blue bird  with this quilted effect inside, and I thought it might be Marcolin,  but now I am not certain......the base was quite well polished, but not as well as my signed Marcolin and FM Konstglas pieces.  
I have sold it now, but these are pictures I have of it, and I  have seen others listed on eBay, very similar, that were sold as Cello.
I hope this helps a little.

Stew, I forgot to mention that FM Konstglas always has a polished base. V. Nason and Formia also has a polished base. The base on your duck looks unpolished.

Cello might be the answer here. It was indeed interesting to learn about Cello. I looked on eBay and found several listings there.  Some time ago I saw a cat being sold as FM Konstglas, but it wasn't FM. I didn't know at the time who had made it, but now I suspect that it might have been Cello.

I have a Chinese made cat somewhere that looks like FM Konstglass - I think I gave it to my daughter. It came in the original packaging (no names or labels of course). Will have to dig it out for a photograph.
