Bird Book

The birds shown on this page are those which are not found in the book.
They are either owned by others and I was not able to get a good enough picture,
or were discovered after publication, which was March 12, 2012.
If you have a bird that is not shown in the book, please send me a high resolution picture
with size and color information and I will post it on this page.

You may order this book directly from me and save over the list price.
If you would like to order one, please send a check for $37.

Very rare bird on lotus flower only one seen	Bird on the left is the new one. Tan color, not luster	A goldfinch outside my window

Chicken creamer with cover Possible part of a set	Common form but a very unusual yellow glaze	A tall swan with rare green highlights

Herons come in many sizes but I had only seen this version in the large size. Recently found it in a mall in the medium size	Right Facing Chinese Pheasant Mold #1138	Previously thought this form was only in the large size when painted green. The small size is the rare one. Note the large bird faces left while the smaller bird faces center or right.

Recently found Bird on Chalice but has a tan luster tree trunk. It is the largest size.	Largest bird, recently acquired the right facing matched vase	This finch when colored is very common but in luster it is much harder to find. Especially HTF with green highllights

I thought his biggest owl was the 9 1/2 inch size but discovered it was a new size	Here are all the owls I have so far Still need the biggest one in dark brown	The small toucan is the newest addition. I was surprised it was so small.

The most colorful bird yet I thought it might have been repainted, but believe original	Common bird, but blue beak A new one to me	Another relatively common bird but gold luster finish

The middle bird is a new size measuring 6 3/8 inches	This large eagle may actually be Royal Dux	Similar to Mold #5109 Wings are not spread

The luster bird on the top left is a new addition to my collection, one I have been searching for year after year. click on the picture for a bigger image. Can also be seen in one of the other books with red trim	Bird on a tree stump sold on eBay for $13! to an unknown collector	The left swallow reported by a collector was said to be luster previously unseen

Rare Mold 7127 in a painted version	Rare Mold 7127 in a luster version with yellow wash	Common bird, Mold #1102 Much greener base unsure if this is variety

Little Finch on Lotus Blossom first seen 15 years ago didn't buy, thought $42 was too much	Rooster on perch like Royal Copley 5 Inches Sold for almost $500 but not to me!	Swan Planter mold #1707 Rare Green Highlights Courtesy of Patti Ferguson

Bird on Triangular Ashtray	Tom Rood found the parrot on the left. Note the green head and more detail in painting altogether. It is also taller.	The Eagle in front was recently acquired. It is only 9 inches tall compared to about 10 1/2 inches. New Size!

Although the larger blackbird (plugged holes) is in the book, reporting that I found another example.	The pheasant on the right does have the RDM unlike the one on the left (shown in the book). The base is very blue, which is also very unusual. I always thought I would find this bird with the RDM, now I have.	A new smaller version (front)has been found. Usual size shown on page 43 of the book.

These two penguins were bought about a month apart, from different people. They match the penguin bookend	This shows the RDM although it is green or black on these.	Penguin Bookend
