    katherines…

    So we don't see a whole lot of American figural pottery pieces on CW, and I don't come across figurines very often but I know them when I see them. They are quite different from European and Asian figurines, in particular the California potteries figurines were often modeled and painted more carefully and naturally, in my view. The head vase in the first two photos was produced by Avis Wright and the two in photos #3 and #4 comes from Brad Keeler. Avis Wright Potteries were best known for bringing Dresden lace figurines to America, called California Dresden, in the 40s, Brad Keeler had a short but renowned career before his untimely death, especially prized by collectors for his lobsterware which had a unique red glaze he developed. Thanks for looking.

      They do a have a different look to them, quite lovely and almost plaintive.
      So interesting. Delightful figurines Katherine.

      Still waiting to move Katherine.....settlement was supposed to be 10th May but has been changed to 9th June.......was not happy!!! so keep fingers crossed it will go ahead on that date.....in the mean time we live surrounded by boxes stacked everywhere and only minimal essentials left out. Will be so glad to be moved and settled in to our new home :-)
