anyone have an idea what this terracotta thing looks like it could be(house clearance shop) (closed) (from yesterday)

 

just mailed the chap to see if he knows anymore (and price)

got an interesting look (though i can't place it from anywhere)

suppose could be a reproduction of something also

 

thinking its gotta be a teapot or such, was like an animals head on the left side

 

Interesting. Looks big for a teapot. But I think I might like the thing that it is standing on more.

 

i'll find out for you buddy you never know what he turns up

 

A very nice Modernist terracotta.

I think she is sitting on an animal (horse?). She looks like a historical figure, looks like a 15th century hairstyle.

 

More interesting already

 

very interesting thanks Aj, thought it was yixing untill i saw the figure, no great age i don't think but just interesting looking

and yes i think it was a horsey

 

I think shes more Deco. I like what I see so far .

 

hmmm odd thing ain't she bud, the guy i get things from can be ridiculously precious about things and way over priced (if he knows something) or practically give things away, so i'm hoping its the latter

will let you know if i can get more info (or have )

 

"Pottery Casper. £10. Cheers"

 

hopefully ive bought it(if he still has it of course)

 

A bargain. I have no idea what she should cost, but it is bound to be much more than that.

 

ditto

sometimes in life you gotta take a risk i guess, don't even know if theres any damage

it cost that almost just to get into town and back nowadays on the bus

 

there'll be still some left for some CHIPS though, always have enough for them buggers

hungry just looking

 

Google says the chippy is temporarily closed. Hope you're not too hungry. Terracotta thingy definitely looks promising, looking at similar things online. Be interesting to see what it is.

 

blew my tits of when i saw it, yeah very looking forward to seeing wht it is

my gut feeling is one of the museum replica things and that might explain the £10

but some of those things are so well made

 

Could well be a modern repro but peeps still pay well for garden ornaments and such like. Just be a pain posting it though.

 

i think the pictures might be a bit misleading, from memory about 7/8 inches only

perhaps i lent in too far because i saw the chip shop in the glass and wanted to eat that as well
