I doubt this is really an antique, but it’s one of those things that turns up in antique or thrift shops.
I thought it was really cute when I first saw it, but after reading the Glorious Gourd Decorating book, it looks kind of sad. It’s selling for $9.98. Or maybe it’s not selling.
Still, the eyes do look rather goose-like.
