    I don’t normally buy trinkets like these but I thought they were better quality than average! The mark takes me to Capodimonte but my googling isn’t helping me date these figures. All the search results are some modern stuff that looks mass produced tat.
    These are really good quality. Hard to see from the photos but very delicate and well done.
    No chips or cracks although its hard to believe they survived as they were rattling around in a box of scrap rubbish at a car boot sale!.
    One is signed V.R (could be V.B). Not very big. Ducks around 3 inches and pheasant 4inches.
    Please can anyone help with information?

    Many thanks for looking :)

    Your "Ducks" almost look like "Doves" except they got webbed feet - Ducks have rounded bills as compared to "pointy"
    And yes - Pheasant. Maybe a copy of a "Golden Pheasant"

    You have such sharp eyes SIS!. How did I not see that signature?
    Having said that I still can’t read it as the glaze is so glossy.
    Something ....mich?.....nich?

    They do have very Dove beaks. Their bodies look like runner ducks. I’m not very good with birds!

    Those are "Capodimonte" pseudo marks. The factory itself no longer exists, but a bunch of Italian makers make stuff they call that.
