We tfore withdrew the item from sale and have now been able to rectify problem. We have subsequently re-listed it and apologise for any inconveniences) Genuine RARE Australian Pottery Grace Seccombe Cicada FigureSigned / Incised GS AUS This Genuine Grace Seccombe Cicada figure is in MINT condition and is free from any repairs at all. It has the most brilliant irridescent colours and fine detail to the veins in the wings. The formation and shape is so perfectly modelled form a real cicada that to see it one may believe it to be the real thing. The rich glaze is free from scratches or rubbing. This is a particularly rare figure. I know of only one other cicada figure and that is a murky brown colour with no detail in the wings or beautiful irridescent highlights. It is mounted to a brown flower arranger which is incised Grace Seccombe NSW. I can safely say that t has never been another Grace Seccombe cicada figure offered for public auction in Australia while t has probably been in excess of 1000 kookas and koalas offered. T is a similar item on p.159 of Marjorie Graham's Book Australian Pottery of the 19th and early 20th Century. The item is an opossum in natural colours. The cicada is incised on the base GS AUS (one of the signings used by Grace Seccombe in the 1940's according the the afore mentioned book). It also has a small hole to the base (see photo) that I imagine is a firing hole and was placed t on such small pieces to ensure cracking did not occur in the firing process. T is a price of 3/6 in pencil to the base. I imagine this is the original price. Approximate measurements: 1.8cm high and 6cm from tip of wing to nose. Total Weight - 25 grams Please check out a conversions website for measurment conversions before sending a question regarding the above sizes.
