<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LauraGarnet02, post: 4539769, member: 20118&quot;]I&#039;m still going with the mid-century modern American pottery theory, LOL. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Red Wing Pottery of Minnesota, for instance, had a crackle glaze line in the 1940s and 50s. That&#039;s why the bottoms always look so dirty greyish, because they rub in and wipe off black ink to fill in and accentuate the crackle glaze.</p><p><br /></p><p>The TV lamp website has the same rooster formed as a TV lamp. The best guess they have is it was made by Royal Fleet Pottery Company. No crackle glaze though.</p><p><a href="http://www.tvlamps.net/rooster_lamps.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tvlamps.net/rooster_lamps.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.tvlamps.net/rooster_lamps.html</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]401745[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]401746[/ATTACH] </p><p><a href="http://www.tvlamps.net/rooster_lamps.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tvlamps.net/rooster_lamps.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.tvlamps.net/rooster_lamps.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, we know there&#039;s a mold for a planter of this rooster and a TV lamp mold. I still haven&#039;t found one that is just a figurine with no other purpose. But it sure looks like all these pieces came from the same line of molds, most likely from the same pottery company.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve heard stories, all the way back from the old eBay PGP board days, of various pottery company molds ending up as hobby shop molds when a company went out of business and sold everything off. It could be speculated that this is the case with these crackle glazed roosters. Those initials on the bottom of the foot could indicate&nbsp; hobbyist work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
