Charles Moore (1935-2007) began working at Jugtown in the Seagrove area of North Carolina in the 1950âe(tm)s for Juliana Busbee, making some of his popular chicken figures at that time. More information can be found (including a photo of Charles with some unfired chickens) at the Jugtown Pottery website under âeoeThe Pottersâe section at /potters.htm The Charles Moore item up for auction today is far scarcer than his chicken figures. This wonderful and highly detailed folk art birdhouse figural is truly a gem. The tree trunk design has some protruding branches which a couple of small birds are perched on, while two larger birds, splashed in a glorious Chinese blue glaze, are perched on the leaf-shaped roof of the birdhouse. The reduction red color of the Chinese blue glaze covers the roof, and a few nice blue and red drips of this desirable glaze can be seen on the tree trunk. A menacing snake has its tail wrapped around one of the protruding branches as it slithers around the birdhouse opening. The base is signed âeoeCharles Mooreâe in inscribed script, and dated âeoe2002âe (see photo of base). T are two mounting holes in the base as made in case someone wanted to mount the piece outdoors as an actual birdhouse (but I really donâe(tm)t recommend doing this, as this is one of the finest examples of Charles Mooreâe(tm)
