I like all of yours better than I like mine!! :cry:

Chris,  when did you list yours for sale?  I didn't see them!  :thud:

I think he's lovely Rosie!
Mdina owls in this colourway do turn up. You just have to be patient and keep trawling.

I had a little chuckle when you mentioned Molina....I often see that and tell the seller that Molina make Bongs for smoking hash!! Boy do they change it quickly!!

Anik, you owl is so pretty and very special....I hope I am lucky enough to find one like that.....and what a lovely friend to have given it to you....so you see, you get what you deserve...... :kissy:

Had a few over the years, nice but again struggled to get anyone else to think so 

Chris, these owls probably aren't 'beautiful' in any sense of the word, and certainly not everyone's 'thing', but if you ask me, I'd say they are absolutely, positively, undeniably charming!    They are such odd-looking things... I'm terribly pleased with mine.

Rosie, thank you for taking the time to photograph your Gozo owl...  :kissy:  It's a perfectly good owl -- just missing the bum on its head and the fabulously weird effect with colours.

Well Anik,  it made me get the camera out to photograph the Scandi birds.....have you looked at the lovely blue one John showed in the thread......it is really lovely!

[Anik R]

Oh Rosie... now that's a BEAUTIFUL collection of BEAUTIFUL birds!!!  And so, so, sssooooo many...  wow!

My owl and my pot.

The scripts on the bases.
(the owl has 2 paper labels, one a normal Mdina one, the other just a residue of another which may belong, it might not, but it does look as if it could well have been one of the labels which had biro written numbers on it.)

Definately going to have to get one of those 'bum head' owls....lovely Sue, thanks for sharing....you, Anik & Chris are very lucky to have them.

Anik's bumhead owl is nicer than mine - this surface decorated stuff doen't seem to be very consistent - but my tiny wee pot is just gorgeous - it's heavy - something about it says;
"I am not simply a small thing, I am a complete and properly-scaled miniature."
It's a real shame really big bits don't seem to have been made at all!
It's a real shame my owl's label is in the middle of his tummy.
