Quirky Bird Bank
•  have not been able to find out any
information about this potter.
• From the style, type of clay, and glaze
used, this piece was made between 1960
and 1980.

&#34;oatmeal&#34; glazed
exterior. The clay is an iron rich
stoneware clay, so when a white or
cream glaze is applied on top, the iron in
the clay seeps through to create the colour.
• The potter applied a heavier glaze over
the wings and head, and &#34;rubbed&#34; away
the glaze on the rest of the body to
create the contrast.
• The interior is also glazed, so the piece
could be used for a bank or a flower
vase.
