Vintage owl figurine john hughes Grogg studio pottery rare bird lover gift Mid Century top modern desk organization gift

Wonderful Owl figurine signed by the Welsh potter John Huges. This guy has lots of character with his eyes glancing sideways, he seems to not miss a thing. His face is a much lighter color and contrasts top nicely with the rest of his body which is brown. The clay is mottled, not smooth and gives a rough appearance of feathers. He measures approx. 3.5" wide and approx. 3.25" tall. The figurine is in great condition for its age and is missing some dark brown glaze/paint in areas. Sadly, John passed away in 2013. This is a rare figure to find.
