Looking for glass or acrylic dome

[Cliff Wilson MCPF]

Customer broke a dome that was on his duck since the 1800s.

The base is 18 1/2" where dome fits. The width is 6" where the dome sits.
The duck is 12 in. High to the top of the head.

Any suggestions on a source?

You can get these from InLine Ovals. If you are lucky it is a stock size. Otherwise, it is a custom size; more time and money. And you may have to call them for a quote. But last time I looked it wasn't too expensive for them to make something custom.

There are lots of sources for glass and acrylic domes to fit anniversary clocks and dolls, but one to fit the needed dimensions might be difficult to find. If you don't have any luck Googling 'glass dome' and 'acrylic dome', you could have an acrylic fabricator make a rectangular box slightly larger, and the put the whole thing - oval base and all - on a rectangular base matching the new acrylic box. You also could build a rectangular enclosure out of Museum Glass, which would provide 99% UV filtering and anti-reflection, and would probably cost you less than paying an acrylic fabricator.
