This is a great early Robert Maxwell beastie figurine in very good condition. The earlier pieces are much more rare and are identified by the white porcelain body coated by a pebbly sprayed on texture to simulate the natural look of stoneware. This type of production lasted only about 6 months so the supply is limited. The production took place at the Winfield China plant in Santa Monica before Maxwell had his Venice studio firmly established. The outsides of these ea...rly pieces were sprayed with an engobe (type of glaze) that simulated stoneware. It's rougher than the actual stoneware that came later.
This piece measures approximately 3.5" h x 5.75" l. He is in great condition. No chips, cracks or condition issues to note. If anything, some slight glaze loss in a few areas. Please check out the pictures carefully and feel free to ask questions!
