Title: Murano Duck but what is the other one?
Post by: beeman on August 17, 2006, 01:22:12 AM

Hello Great board!!! I know one is a duck but I can't figure out what the other one is, is it a duck also? What year do you think these were made? Thanks so much.

I would say they are both ducks.

Thanks, do you know about what age they might be?

IMO it's hard to say Beeman.  Perhaps you could look for age related wear on the bases?  Ducks are so popular that they're still made today and by various countries too.  Yours don't appear to be terribly old to me, but I'd say the duck with the feet shows better craftsmanship than the one on the conical base, but that's only my opinion!  They look great as a pair though.  :D
