Collectors' Concerns

Swan Dish

October 12, 2016

Q: My mom and dad were given this swan dish as a wedding gift in 1950. I found a similar one in an antiques shop and the shop owner said it was a Duncan & Miller piece, although it wasn’t marked. My parents’ swan is definitely different, more slender, daintier, and also without the maker’s mark. Do any Duncan & Miller pieces have the company stamp or logo?
