Featured Seeking Info on Pottery Hummingbird Feeder

Hello Everyone! Hope this find everyone to be well. I'm seeking information on this pottery hummingbird feeder. The pottery section measures about 8" across and about 3 1/2" tall. There are three stilt marks on the bottom. The wire is copper. It's a curious thing but I'm not sure it would survive for long outside in our Indiana weather. I found two other examples through Google lens (one current eBay listing in blue and white. and an old eBay listing with similar colors to mine) but the descriptions didn't provide anything useful. If anyone has information regarding manufacturer, timeframe, any info really, it would be much appreciated. Thank you! Don

 

Love the colors . Ive never seen anything like this,Id have thought it a planter of some sort. Its gorgeous .

 

Ditto. Lucky hummingbirds.

 

Lovely piece,but yr right-not much re dating/manufacture.

 

It has three pontil marks on the base, so it ought to be old, but there's really no telling. At least I can't tell.

 

Beautiful colours. If it was mine I wouldn’t hang that outside (sorry birds)

 

It's not obvious from the picture where the little red flowers stick in, so I was confused as to how it could be a feeder. I get it now, but it seems a shame to make something so pretty and then stick red plastic on it.

 

It's not obvious from the pictures but each of the flowers has a hold in the center. I don't know that the plastic flower would be necessary. The color combination of the glaze might be enough to draw hummingbirds on its own. The hummingbirds that drift through here tend to focus on my Rose of Sharon bushes with their pink and purple flowers. I just wished they would stay around longer. We're pretty much a hit and run stop on the way to the wintering grounds.

 

We put out 3 feeders in the Winter (our Annas stay thru the Winter).One of feeders we keep under a large covered porch-it's lighted & heated.

 

Yes, we have Annas year round, too.
