This is an original, exquisite ceramic pot by listed California artist Erwin Winterhalder. Initialed on the bottom "E W" 1943. In perfect condition. Deeply carved lime green color. A heavy piece. Erwin Winterhalder is primarily known as a sculptor and watercolor artist. Student of Lorenzo Latimer. I had this for sale in my gallery for $1, 395.00. It measures 5.5 inches tall by 8.5 inches wide. A more than twice life size marble statue of "End of the trail" by James Earle Fraser was car...ved by Erwin Winterhalder for the Pan Pacific Expo in San Francisco in 1915. It now resides at the National Cowboy Museum. You can Google " End of the trail at western Museum" to see a picture of the statue. Original bronze by James Earl Fraser was scaled up by Winterhalder who was hired by Fraser because Fraser couldn't scale up his own work. Fraser didn't credit Winterhalder for the work and they became enemies. This information comes from Winterhalders son Charles Winterhalder. Winterhalder ceramics are very rare and difficult to find. His main studio was in Cupertino, California. Acquired from the artist's son. Make an offer.
