This striking vintage Chinese Shiwan art pottery figurine masterfully captures the focused demeanor of a horned owl perched intently atop a rugged, rocky outcrop. Exemplifying the legendary ceramic traditions of the Guangdong province, the piece showcases a beautiful interplay of textures, contrasting a glossy, dark glaze on the craggy base with a matte, unglazed natural clay body. Hand-etched feather details and meticulously applied dark stippling give the plumage an lifelike quality, while the hand-painted, glossy eyes lend the raptor an alert and expressive gaze. A wonderful mid-century example of Asian folk art pottery, this expressive sculpture makes a sophisticated addition to any owl collector's display or vintage decor collection.
