Item Details
Description
Rare Glazed Redware Figure of a Squirrel, Pennsylvania origin, 19th century, hand-modeled figure of a squirrel feeding on a nut, seated on a circular base with impressed embellishments. Squirrel includes impressed eyes and incised details to muzzle, feet, and hair on back. Surface decorated with streaks of manganese and covered in a heavy, clear lead glaze. The squirrel remains one of the more unusual and desirable animal forms produced by Pennsylvania redware potters. This example features wonderful, folky modeling. Although its maker is unidentified, it bears some resemblance to figures produced by Jesiah Shorb in the Hanover area, which are pictured on page 18 of Jeanette Lasansky's Central Pennsylvania Redware Pottery, 1790-1904. Provenance: A fresh-to-the-market example, purchased by the consignor's father during the second quarter of the 20th century. Figure is reglued where legs meet body. An additional 1 3/8" piece reglued at base. One ear restored. Restoration to tip of opposite ear. H 3 1/2".
