These look really nice but I think it's possible these are not W H Turner pieces as I have not been able to find any items of his that were done in this type of figurine.

His pieces are usually on a 'platform' of some type and they are usually numbered (as in a series).
The signature may be someone's real name or they are trying to make this look like it is a WH Turner. Also, there does not seem to be any record of him doing any figurines without using a signature/numbers as his work has always been valuable.

In my opinion, these are 'knock-offs' of WH Turner's work but it may be wise to try and get his signature/work authenticated before advertising any of these as being an original Turner.

There are molds like this so they could be made anywhere but most likely, these are unbranded items that are mass-produced in China (probably had paper stickers on the bottom that have been removed).

I hope you find that I'm wrong in my thinking and that you actually have WH Turner pieces.

Contact Dr. William H. Turner (American/Virginia, b. 1934) to find out if he really made these ducks.
