they are all the same size 5" tall 7 1/2 long and all dammmm uggly!!
But I love them ,

I have never seen one like yours.....around here at all. Did you buy the other 2 at the same time or found them all at different time?

Hi Antiquerose ;-)
I inherited a black one a few years ago which ill list later ,I know is definatly 50s/60s maybe earlier and has a ring in his nose which the others havn't, then I saw one at a boot sale in a light browny colour so had that one for £ 3. Then seen this one at a recycle centre for £2 .. I have never seen any more on my travels but they do pop up on ebay once in a blue moon.. I think the black one is Dartmouth pottery but not sure as its in storage at mo!!.
ive also got a couple of really ugly birds that ill list later..
love the idea of the uglys , great idea..
thanx for your interest.. sd
Jolie laide for sure!!
Maybe we need an Beautiful Ugly collection to link these all to?
