<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 46412, member: 56"]This owl figurine is made of white clay. Apparently produced in a mold, the clay is hand-packed and very thick. It weighs about 3 ½ lbs. It’s mostly tints of brown, but the glaze on the breast has a definite greenish tint. The figurine stands about 7 ½” tall and measures about 4” across. There are initials inscribed on the bottom – conjoined IB. These have been outlined in ink (not by me). Any thoughts on who, when or where?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Temp/BirdOwlSmallEaredBrownSpeckledHandPackedClayFigurineOld-a_zps837de375.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Temp/BirdOwlSmallEaredBrownSpeckledHandPackedClayFigurineOld-bb_zps2615fe84.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Temp/BirdOwlSmallEaredBrownSpeckledHandPackedClayFigurineOld-cc_zps645db522.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Temp/BirdOwlSmallEaredBrownSpeckledHandPackedClayFigurineOld-h_zps0bb90e48.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Temp/BirdOwlSmallEaredBrownSpeckledHandPackedClayFigurineOld-n_zpscdccbac7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/hoozzatt/Temp/BirdOwlSmallEaredBrownSpeckledHandPackedClayFigurineOld-o_zps5f54ae1e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
