The duck is about 12 inches high.  I suspect that it is Mexican pottery, but it completely wrapped in chrome armor.  There are no identification marks on the chrome, so it is possible it was made be some artisan who was into metal working.  The pictures included show additional details.

Antique Questions Forum / Chrome wrapped ceramic duck

« on: February 20, 2010, 11:57:08 am »

I got this duck at a store in Charleston because it was different.  I have been unable to find out anything about it. The duck is a painted ceramic and the body is wrapped in chrome plated metal.  There are no seams on the bottom and the areas that adjoin the ceramic are neatly detailed.  The  metal is quite thick, probably around 22 gauge.  Any help would be appreciated.
