Topic: Archimede Seguso black and aventurine duck?

Thanks Rosie,

Your little Granna ducks came up top result on my google image search. Completely different to mine. They are beautiful though.

I agree, maybe the CCC/Leonardo ones look better in the flesh as it were, than in those photos.

I think I may have the key in differentiating between GeP and CCC argento pieces could be in the execution of the figures. Mine has quite pronounced tooling marks and the head is slightly lumpy. Is it fair to say, I should not expect this from a maestro?

I don't know who made the duck, but it isn't any of the Segusos or G&P. It doesn't resemble their work. My strongest suspicions are that it is either a generic Italian piece or it is from China. The Crystal Clear duck is the closest I've seen, but I think just about anyone could have made the duck.
