    Is this identifiable as any particular thing?

    $2 at an eclectic estate sale

    5" / 14cm tall

    Thank you

    It appears to have a duck head/bill. Some confusion there. Slipcast, modern decorative.

    Well, eclectic is one word for it. I suspect modern Asian decorative ware for either Thanksgiving or Christmas.

    The overall crazing is the giveaway.

    For 2 bucks a must buy-bread & butter stuff in the Malls these days.
    PS-Find anything else ?

    Seems like anything that rings the nostalgia gong for 25-30 year olds is good mall catnip these days.
    I ran into a dealer who gleefully told me she'd just sold a black velvet Snoopy for $200 on FB.She's a good judge of what's 'hot' at the moment because she really doesn't have much of a passion for collecting-her main rush is $$$$.
    PS-Seems she'd have more fun as a Realtor or Commodities/Hedge Fund Broker,but to each their own ?

    Well, this turkey still sits in my case at the antique mall, with an asking price of $10, but has not sold yet. It's only been a couple weeks, I guess, but December was pretty slow for me as a seller. :bored:

    Hope springs eternal....
