Now here is a surprise. This object is one of those acquisitions about whose information I was not careful at a busy time. I needed to find out what I could. I am thankful that I tried Google Images. The page lit up with many exemplars of exactly this doorstop. The variety among the offers was remarkable especially on two counts. The fowl here is variously characterized as a ho ho bird, a crane, or a swan drinking from a ewer. The prices range from $99 to $500. It all makes me even more curious to find out how I acquired our exemplar!
Date: 1900?
