Up for auction is a wonderful three piece Quail family by Howard Pierce, famous California artist & sculptor . They are beautiful and unique, with a white glaze showing hints of brown underneath peaking through in all the right places! The brown comes through to highlight the beaks and eyes and along the backs, more pronounced on the babies. Heights: Large Bird 6 in. Medium Bird 3 1/2 in. Small Bird 2 in. All are in excellent condition, no cracks, chips or crazing. Each has the Howard Pierce stamp on the bottom. T are three small fleabites under the glaze on the belly of the large one. Please see detailed photos. A lovely addition to any collection. Thank you for looking and good luck! About the artist: Howard Pierce started his ceramics business in 1945 when he established a one-kiln pottery in Claremont, CA. In 1968 he moved to Joshua Tree with his family and continued sculpting. He is well known for his bird & animal porcelain figurines, which are now sought by collectors. He re-constructed the "Myrtle The Turtle" sculpture that can be seen in the center of Joshua Tree on the highway. His large sculptures can also be seen in Yucca Valley outside the Hi-Desert Nature Museum and the Library, in Joshua Tree at Copper Mountain College, the Hi-Desert Playhouse, and the Hi-Desert Hospital, and in 29 Palms at the Marine Corps Base, and at some of the local schools. Howard Pierce retired in 1968, although he continued to make ceramics & sculptures until his death in 1994.
