Mid-century Studio Pottery Stoneware Owl shoes with nails or for taking apple picking

or for taking apple picking

It will also stand up on its own if balanced just right

This one is a bit of a mystery

Stands up straight on its flat base

wonderfully worn and smoothed with what surely has been a lot of handling

Mid-century Studio Pottery Stoneware Owl shoes with nails or for taking apple pickingJust a very good and owl like owl I think, and tis the season! Mid century I believe, found in Kansas City, hand sculpted with incised details, and stamped on the bottom, though I haven't been able to place the mark. Very nice just perched somewhere. 3 t x 3 2 x 2 7 8 d and in very good condition, with a teeny tiny nick to the back of the right ear, not visible from front and very minor.
