Flamingo
« on: April 30, 2012, 02:55:13 PM »
What Ho! Just before this one gets tossed out I was wondering if this was anything or just some old tat  ;D
Its a very lightly blown 6" flamingo, im not that impressed to be honest but i know there were some Czech pieces that might be similar? Any ideas, TIA Wolfie

Apart from the beak which just looks odd from the angle you've taken it I think, it looks quite sweet and has the foot got a folded rim? or is it just the photo.  The proportions look good as well, I would think quite difficult to do that and get it looking good.
