i've been having luck looking up info lately!  i'm still trucking away at my etsy shop, going pretty well!  AND i'm gonna give ebay a try so i will prob. be in that forum a lot looking for hints.
this little birdie is throwing me for a loop.  no markings, but i just know he's something.  he looks like those art deco tigers that are pretty popular.  i will try to post pics tomorrow.

thanks!!

It looks so familiar to me because in some ways it resemble the style of the every popular pie birds!!!  Nice piece!!!!
