Mid-Century Handcrafted Studio Pottery Owl Sculpture with Textured Glaze

Charming and expressive mid-century studio pottery owl sculpture, dated 74. This hand-built ceramic figure features a stylized and abstract interpretation of an owl, with oversized, deeply incised eyes, a prominent beak, and textured plumage rendered in high relief. The sculptor used a rich, earthy brown clay body and a contrasting matte beige glaze to emphasize the owl’s facial features, feathers, and feet

The underside is signed with incised initials and the year it was made, 1974. Three small vent holes on the base imply it may nave originally served a functional purpose possibly as a rattle, though it now stands beautifully on its own as a decorative object or collectible,

This piece is a fine example of mid-century American folk and studio pottery, reflecting a blend of playful character and artisan craftsmanship. Ideal for collectors of owls, ceramics, or studio pottery. Vintage condition consistent with age as pictured.
