Title: Mid-century "Drinker" Pink Flamingo Ceramic Tabletop Sculpture Will George

Description: Mid-century pink and green ceramic flamingo tabletop statue by Will George. It features a beautifully detailed pink flamingo with highly detailed, lush leaves and a grass base. The flamingo has a gloss finish that highlights the rich pinks, greens, and black accents. Bio The Will-George company was founded in 1934 by William and George Climes in William's Los Angeles garage. The brothers manufactured high-quality porcelain and earthenware. In the late thirties, their work came to the attention of actor Edgar Bergen, who was impressed enough to finance their business. With the new backing, Will-George moved to a larger facility in Pasadena. There, they produced an extensive line of art pottery, including very popular bird and animal figurines of exceptional quality. In 1945, they became The Claysmiths, and in 1947, they became famous for their limited 200 Flamingo figure run commissioned by gangster Bugsy Siegel personally for his new Las Vegas Flamingo Hotel and Casino opening.
