Duran's of California must have found it a challenge to keep the mallard in position on the base during firing. It looks rather precarious! Photos courtesy of Marilyn from Red Bluff, California.

The Duran's of Calif. marking. The unglazed white spots were the points at which the lamp was supported by a stilt-like piece during firing. This was a typical method of manufacture, and allowed glazing of the bottom surface.
