    Greetings!
    This pottery woman is signed Ginnie Weller, I can really find no information on her. To me, it does not look like the Weller Pottery on research. She is 9.25"tall 10.5"wide and over 2 pounds. Next, we have this fun little owl sculpture that my wife named Oatmeal! He does look like a big cookie with metal eyes, brass legs and mounted to a wood base. Reminds me a little on the type of C Jere, or a Raymor product, but unsigned. Any help is much appreciated. We do have a few more listed trying to ID if you would like to check them out. I may not be able to respond to all but a Big Thank You in advance for your comments and thoughts on these.

      Some items come up on Google search but don't seem to lead anywhere, except for your post here on CW.

      I recently came across this information I was given:

      Ginnie Weller was a potter in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This looks to be an early work of hers as she later used a stylized GW as her signature. She taught ceramics and had a studio in her home in the 1960-70's.

      She did most of her work on a potters wheel. In her later years she lived and worked in California.

      Her work tended to be heavy but she was known for her wonderful glazes. She especially favored Turquoise blues. She sold much of her work at the annual Ann Arbor Art Fair.

      As an aside, her father George Brigham, was an local architect, mid century style, and taught at the University of Michigan.
