Here is a very rare Southern Pottery figural chicken or rooster. It is saltglazed stoneware with cobalt decoration, and signed with the initials AM. I know some of you may have already seen this on a friend\'s Facebook page, and we do have several confirmations that it is indeed by GA potter, Arie Meaders, and that the signature is correct. That being said, it is being offered in AS FOUND condition. You\'ll get it like you got your mother-in-law... warts and all! We picked this out of a little Crafts and Antiques shop in Stokes County NC last Saturday, so it\'s fresh to . The chicken stands 9\" tall by 9\" long by about 5\" wide, and about 4\" diameter at the base. It has 2 chipped tail feathers, and most of the comb is broken off and missing. It almost looks like the comb popped off in the firing, but regardless of cause, it is gone. This probably stood closer to 11-12 inches tall to begin with. The bird is well defined, and free of any cracks or repairs. I don\'t usually deal with Folk Art Pottery, but nobody in his right mind would pass it up for what was on the price tag, even if itIS damaged. This will be a 5 DAY sale with , NO BIN, and will NOT end early. High buyer owns it. We would appreciate NOT having to take Paypal, but we will if we must. Item will ship Double Boxed, Priority Insured Mail. Item may be picked up in person if you wish, but cash on the barrel head if you chooseto do so. Thanks for looking, and good luck should you choose to offer on it. Ed
