Like your vintage thingie. I particularly like the turquoise color on its base and the white feathers on the back of the duck?, swan?. I can’t help with the ID.

I am glad you all like my bird. He is different to be sure! I found that potter also Kathy and I agree with you about the age too. I just haven’t been able to find anything else and this does not look like that potters work. Half the fun is wondering I guess. Thanks for your interest!

This is such a strange and interesting piece, it has quite captured my imagination! I actually quickly looked throught an on line book at the English and American pottery marks, but I found nothing except that there were potters named Sewell in England. the marks strike me as being 20th century, but what do I know, lol.

What an unusual bird! Very intriguing, with the markings on the bottom too. I love mysteries like this! He or she looks rather primitive. Well, until we solve this puzzler, I’ll just say that I can see what drew you to it, because it’s very pretty, especially with that great blue base. I hope someone can solve this!
Happy VTT!

At first I thought it was a carving. Definitely an unusual ceramic piece.

A very unusual piece. I have never seen one like it before. Just keep it and one day you will run across something that will tell you the history of it. It makes for a great vintage day showing.

I love birds – I just bought a (new) little bird to put under a tree outside – but this is fabulous with tons of character!
