Stangl Pottery traces back to Fulper Pottery in New Jersey. In 1910, Johann Stangl started working at Fulper. He left to work for Haeger Pottery between 1915 to 1920. He returned to Fulper Pottery in 1920, and became president in 1926. He later changed the company name to Stangl Pottery in 1929. The pottery is known mainly for dinnerware and the line of beautiful bird figurines. Martin Stangl died in 1972 and the pottery was sold to Wheaton Industries. Production continued until 1978, when Pfaltzgraff Pottery purchased the right to the Stangl trademark. With all that said, it is our pleasure to offer one of the rarest pieces that was produced by Stangl. This is the large Walking Pheasant figurine from the company's extensive line of birds that were manufactured mostly during the 1940s. At the height of their productivity at least sixty decorators were employed to hand paint the birds at the plant. T was also decorating that was contracted out and did in private homes. Bird figurines continued to be produced on a limited basis until the 1970s. These wonderful cermaic birds were a product of the inability to access foreign imports due to WWII. This is your opportunity to own one of the most expensive pieces form that production. This bird is the walking pheasant cock. It stands about 7 1/4" tall and is about 15" from beak to tail. read more
