Yip,Hilda and Stan had the flying ducks on the wall,elsie tanner is on the t shirt,she started off as Elsie Gregory.the pink one would look a lot nicer with just the image without the text obscuring it.

Slightly different explanation via 2 Corrie uber fan site's information:
"The pride and joy of No.13 resident Hilda Ogden were the flying ducks on her ‘muriel’. They have become Corrie icons as much as Hilda herself over the years. They appeared on Hilda’s wall from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. One of the ducks infamously would be seen diving into the sea on the mural, and apparently Jean Alexander, who played Hilda, would check this before filming.
The flying ducks did appear on the show before debuting on Hilda’s wall. Next-door neighbour Elsie Tanner (No.11) had some on her wall and they were seen in the very first episode in 1960 as well as during the 1960s. But it seems that Hilda never bequeathed them from Elsie. In fact, she acquired them from her Auntie Aggie as she told Sally Webster in 1987. Flying ducks were common ornaments in homes across England at the time."

FWD.

Yes, it's a reproduction.Is the "Two Lumps" mug new as well?
https://uk.mporium.org/products/two-lumps-white-mug
I see that it was tagged a 1995 rarity just a few months back - did they start reproduction just now?
https://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/morrissey-2-lumps-please-mug-any-offers.144416/
I'm loving the concept, would have it reproduced at my local mug-shop but can't find a high res version
Regards,This was available as merch during '95/Bowie Outside Tour etc.
PJLM adds:
"The "two lumps please" mug from the 1995 shows in the UK were sold for 12$ in Petaluma and San Francisco.
They were supposedly sold out after that, although it is not impossible that some were for sale on certain dates of the second leg of this tour."
Generally considered rare(ish).
Regards,
FWD.
think she she shunned the limelight,interesting stuff orson.I saw her around the town where I grew up many many times. She actually turned up at my dad's post-funeral reception though I have absolutely no idea why. It was quite strange seeing Hilda Ogden sitting there.
