This piece features a warm ochre glaze with hand-painted green striping, a classic palette associated with traditional yellowware pottery. The form is sculptural yet simple, with a reclining posture and softly modeled features that give it a playful, folk-art quality.

The glaze has developed fine craquelure throughout, adding texture and depth, and reflecting age in an authentic and appealing way. The underside is unglazed, consistent with utilitarian pottery traditions, and retains original surface variation from the firing process.

Yellowware ceramics have a long history in both American and European pottery, valued for their earthy tones and accessible, decorative forms. Animal figures such as this were often made as whimsical household objects or decorative accents.

A warm, character-rich piece that works beautifully in a layered kitchen display, shelf styling, or as part of a folk art collection. See less
