🎉  Captain Quackers' Curator Notes 

“Funfetti looks ready to celebrate absolutely anything—a birthday, a new museum arrival, or simply a particularly good Tuesday. Her colorful polka dots dance across a creamy-white body, while those sweeping eyelashes add a little extra party personality.

But turn her over, and the celebration becomes an investigation. Molded codes, bilingual wording, and a surviving price sticker preserve clues about her retail history. Each deserves careful recording. A number can be useful evidence without immediately telling us what it means!”

DuckDex Entry #0027

Bright polka dots cover this cream-white Bath & Body Works duck, complemented by an orange bill and painted eyes with long eyelashes. Molded feather details remain visible beneath the colorful decoration.

Underside markings establish the Bath & Body Works attribution and identify China as the country of manufacture. A surviving barcode sticker lists prices of US $4.50 and CAN $5.00, providing direct evidence of the prices printed on this example’s retail label.

Its original product name, release history, and manufacturer remain under investigation. Funfetti is its museum name.

🧼 Conservation Notes

Based on the supplied photographs, Funfetti retains a glossy cream-white surface, colorful polka dots, and clearly defined painted facial details. Small surface marks and localized wear are visible, including minor marks near the lower body and bill.

The underside markings are legible, and the retail sticker remains attached with some creasing and edge wear. Preserve the sticker in place as part of the object’s documentation.

 Why Captain Quackers Loves This Duck

Every duck has a story...

“Funfetti reminds me that even the happiest-looking duck can give us serious research questions. Who chose these colors? What did the store display look like? What can that little surviving sticker help us discover?

We don’t have every answer yet. For now, she brings the confetti—and we’ll bring the curiosity.”
