Description
Pink and yellow glazing follows the curved neck and folded silhouette of this Lucia Ware model 6012 pelican.
The underside bears the impressed LUCIA mark and model number 6012. Lucia Ware is a range from Boksburg East Potteries in Boksburg, South Africa. The long bill rests against the body, leaving an open space within the curve of the neck. Black details around the eye and bill contrast with the lighter colouring, while the dark moulded base separates the bird from the surface beneath it. The model number offers a reference for comparing other Lucia Ware animal forms. For comparison, the Lucia Ware Brown Glazed Long-Tailed Bird Figurine and the Lucia Ware White Ceramic Scottish Terrier Dog Figurine provide related examples of form, decoration or maker within the store.
