HEAD UP DUCK: 4 1/2″ TALL X 2 1/2″ WIDEST POINT. I IMMEDIATELY FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM AND THEIR SIMPLISTIC BEAUTY. GORGEOUS SOFT MATTE COLOR TONES OF PALE GREEN AND IVORY/WHITE. NOT SURE IF THEY WERE ORIGINALLY INTENDED AS A SET. THE MATTE OFF-WHITE COLOR OF THE FLOWER BOWL BASE AND THE DUCKS ARE A PERFECT MATCH. THE CONTRAST OF COLOR BETWEEN THE DUCKS AND THE GREEN FLOWER BOWL IS LOVELY. CAL-ART POTTERY WAS INTRODUCED IN 1938 WHEN RAY MURRAY WAS GIVEN A FREE HAND TO DESIGN WHATEVER HE WISHED, BY JIM BOCKMON OF BAUER POTTERY. MURRAY SCULPTED THREE DESIGNS IN MINIATURE DUCKS; HEAD UP, HEAD DOWN AND PREENING DUCK ; THAT WERE PRODUCED IN VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES SO THEY HAVE BECOME HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER PIECES. THE DUCKS WERE HAND MODELED MAKING EACH A UNIQUE WORK OF ART WITH SOME DIFFERENCES IN SIZE. CIRCA 1930 – 1940′s. HANDMADE CALIFORNIA USA #200. BAUER DUCKS HAD NO MARKINGS. Very Good to Excellent Condition. Flower bowl has one small 1/16 chip to the rim. Last 2 pictures show same chip from inside and outside views. Some minor scratches to to bottom base and light wear to the inside of the bowl; nothing serious. The head down;’drinking / crouching’ duck has a tiny’pin hole’ or glaze/paint skip on the underside of his beak; it is not finger-felt and it may be from its inception – please see 3rd to last picture.
