Hi Andy are there any marks on the base? It looks very similar to ducks made by Wedgwood Glass.

Hi Andy

Here's a few Whitefriars Dilly Ducks to compare yours to.

Hope this helps

Hi Andy.. I have just found a photo of this one which I sold recently it had Wedgwood acid etched on base, very similar to yours.

It stands 6" high and has no markings to the base , Also it is 5" from the tail 6to the front and due to the previous picture i now think that it is wedgewood . Any idea of the value as i bought this today for only £4 at a fair?

Andy:

I have the identical piece and it has a very light and small etching " Wedgewood England" on the bottom. It also has a adhesive label denoting the same.
