Marked Sewer Tile Scarab - American Folk Art; Marked

Item Details

Description

Finely modeled scarab made from sewer tile. This piece is quite unusual as it is marked by the company that made it: Robinson Clay Products of Pottstown PA. This company started in the mid 19th Century, most likely this piece dates to the late 19th of early 20th Century. The raised lettering on the base also specifies the type of clay used ("Vitreous Sewerpipe") and gives the piece a name ("Good Luck Scarab").
Wonderful item for the collector of American folk art, American pottery or American advertising.
Excellent condition. The base rim has a 1/4" sliver that may have happened in the making, or may have chipped later. At any rate, not at all noticeable as the rim was made slightly rough and mostly glazed over.
4 1/8" long.
