Quirk, a small, white, stuffed toy duck with a yellow beak and feet and small, black, round eyes poses seated on a navy blue pillow against a dark red backdrop. He is wearing a blazer made from a tweed fabric offered by Bookster, an English textile manufacturer. The fabric is named Lowry in honor of the sartorially spectacular Antiques Roadshow appraiser Nicho Lowry. Quirk’s travel partner had to track down Bookster, purchase the fabric and an appropriate-color liner cloth (not visible in the photo), then hire an artisan to custom-make the blazer. At the end of his beak, Quirk wears a black mustache his travel partner drew on paper. Propped against one foot is a tiny bottle of Champagne—ok, it’s actually bubble liquid, but still.
