Thanks Naomi - I didn’t know they did animals. Cheers.

Today, valuing for a charity shop, there was a group of matt porcelain animals,
mainly birds. They all looked very similar but some had Highbank porcelain
stickers underneath, and some had Isle of Arran pottery stickers, without which
they would be indistinguishable from one another.
I'll try and drag the pix off the phone at some point.

Splitting the thread because one company is based on the Isle of Arran and the other one in Lochgilphead, Scotland. The figurines may seem the same, and may even be from the same moulds, but the more collectible one is the latter
I’ve had quite a lot over the years; I’ll dig out the photos.
