Folk Art Fisherman Studio Pottery Sculpture

Description

Charming folk art stoneware fisherman with a short billed cap and corn cob pipe. I acquired this fellow from the estate of a collector with impressively varied interests ranging from American studio pottery and stoneware to 19th century fine European ceramics. He measures 9" tall and 7" wide. This is a very unique and charming piece.
