      Love how it reminds me of a mascot and the light colour is perfect. perfectly beautiful !~

      Very translucent duck, he almost looks ghostly and dreamlike. I like that about him, he's very ethereal! :)

      This is a great piece of glass! Not just the lovely colour but to model the duck in flight is so good!

      Thanks so much B for the lovely compliment, I think the designer Royal Hickman had a great talent for making birds & usually added swirling clouds at their feet to enhance their beauty

      Phil you are so right, I can see a car mascot in the front-leaning pose of this mallard, thank you for your wonderful praise and observ

      Thank you Lauren for your really great comment & I love your take on this duckie, it's very ethereal & dreamlike in that beautiful pale blue. I agree it is a very translucent glass unlike others with dark shading angles & much easier to photograph

      Ralph thanks so much for your super praise, I do try to choose my animals with care & there are some I just don't take to....for example Heisey made a braying donkey that I think is really ugly & I'd never get that one! I'm truly happy you enjoy my choices my friend

      You are absolutely correct kivatinitz, celeste is blue and celestial the heavens or skies, both are beautiful compliments for this flying bird thank you so much! I could not describe it better, the designer made swirling clouds below him so he is definitely on the way to flying high

      Karen this is one of three mallard ducks Hickman made for Heisey & Imperial Glass reissued, this one with wings down, one with wings up which I've posted in caramel slag glass, and the last has the wings halfway up. They are all very evocative of birds flapping their wings ready to take off and I esp love this horizon blue series that shows the detail better. Thank you as always friend for your awesome praise

      Thanks Falcon & Kevin for the love for this blue glass mallard, very grateful to you guys & glad that you liked it - a hard one to photograph because it's so pale, it is actually prettier in person

      Wow! Beautiful color!
    10. Newfld Newfld, 2 years ago
      Thanks Vynil & vintagelamp for the love, and v.l. thanks so much for your wonderful praise for this piece & its color, a lovely pale aqua that Imperial called horizon blue
