Description
A large studio pottery ceramic figure of a bird, possibly a duck or goose, rendered in a whimsical style. The piece features an elongated neck that curves into a loop, large protruding eyes with heavy concentric lids, and oversized webbed feet. The main body and neck are finished in a white raku-style crackle glaze, while the bill is decorated with a smooth amber-coloured glaze. The eye surrounds and legs are formed from matte terracotta-toned clay. The wings are represented by two heavily textured, horizontally ribbed circular patches with a brown finish. The large webbed feet are finished with a dark metallic bronze-effect glaze. No maker’s marks or signatures are visible on the exterior of the piece.
Height: 31.5 cm.
Condition report:
The figure appears to be in good condition. The fine network of lines across the body is an intentional raku crackle glaze effect. No chips, cracks, or signs of restoration are visible.
