This is a very odd, expressive, and detailed pottery bust of a man. It is about life size. This piece is all hand made, very heavy, and very much one-of-a-kind. The man has a bald head, sideburns, mustache, and goatee. His mouth is open, showing the teeth. He is wearing rather thick glasses. The bust is glazed in several colors and has a striped shirt with molded buttons. It is in generally very good condition, although the tops of both ears have broken off. As to age, it is not new at all. Our sense is likely c. 1960's or 70's. The size is about 12" wide by 9 1/2" deep and 11" high. The price is $350.00. Inventory Code: TOTK.

This is a pottery head of a football player. It is a strong and expressive piece of folk art sculpture. It measures 8" high by 6 1/2" wide by about 6" deep, and is of unknown age, but it is old. It is solid, not hollow, and very heavy. The condition is fair: part of the face guard on the helmet is missing, and there is minor flaking on the surface. In spite of this, it is a vivid folk art portrait with great "presence". The price is $375.00. Inventory Code: TACK. Pottery football player ... Another view ... One side ... The other side ...

This is a very strange redware skull. It is shaped like a primitive fossil skull rather than a modern human one, and glazed white. It has been broken and reglued (no missing pieces), strengthening the impression that it is a fossil. It is fairly detailed, with heavy teeth and sockets where two teeth would be missing if it were a real skull. (They are not really missing, it was made this way.) It has no lower jaw. There is a signature on the bottom that is not quite legible; it looks like B. Volken. The size is 5 1/2" high by 5" wide by 7" deep. The price is $210.00. Inventory Code: PAHH. Image.

Here is a very interesting pottery bowl. It is covered with incised figures of people, animals, and designs. It has a dark brown glaze both inside and in the incisings.

It is 7" high by approximately 8 1/2" in diameter, in perfect condition. The price is $275.00. Inventory Code: POHW. See a slideshow of several views [731k]

Here are some pieces of tourist ware pottery. All have richly colored, flowing glazes with slight craqueleur. Most are slightly glossy, and most have a few tiny pinprick-sized bubbles in the glaze. These were primarily made in the 1940's and 50's in the South, Ozarks, and Appalachia. They are really very nice, functional and decorative objects. They are described and priced separately below.
