Did this little bird Fly here from China?
« on: May 14, 2010, 06:13:49 AM »
Is this Chinese????????

A little birdie with some purple swirl in him.  He is about 5 inches tall, 2.5 inches wide.  His little wings are like slight pulled pinched areas.  He is heavy, and has some wear to the base.  He seems to have *planned* (3) air bubbles that I can see from the base.  Hard to photograph the little Birdie...

So - Should this little Birdie *stay* here in Canada -------- or should he *Fly the Coop* home ??

Thanks for any info...

Doesn't look like Chinese to me. The base looks too well finished; its polished and then the edges are slightly chamfered.

The bases of very recent Chinese weights are polished. Don't know about chamfered though.
