Hi Stew, what you are calling 'filigree' is known as 'latticino' to the Murano crowd.  Looks Murano to me.  There are some good threads in the Murano section that have discussed some of the minor distinctions between the various glass houses there when it comes to these duck sos or swans - shape of the bill, eyes, color in the head, etc.

Have you looked in Anita's Murano Zoo Stew?
Hopefully she will pop in and see this anyway...or you could PM her to have a look for you.

I have a couple of swans, very similar to the way yours are made, but different colours. I also posted them on here recently, but so far, no identification as to who made them.

Thanks for the link stew2u2 but I had already looked at Anita's site a while ago (before posting my query on glassmessages) for the ones I have and could not find them.
