Check out the wonderful detail of the heart on the inside where the spout attaches, and the glaze on the outside with its shifting shades of green. Unused, would make a wonderful gift for Christmas (or whatever you celebrate in the yuletide times!) Harlan House (RCA - Royal Canadian Academy of Arts) is one of Canada's most well known artists. He is potter who lives in Lonsdale Ontario and makes fine porcelain that can be seen in galleries and museums around the world. "Of course, I got around to the ducks, and a whole lot of other creatures that live in our gardens too. OK, the heron is in the river near our house, but I would love it if it wants to move into our pond. The duck was an easy choice. They are so beautiful, and adding them to the pond pieces was just natural. Making duck handles was also natural for me. I never picked up a duck by the neck, but did hold them in my hands many times." - Harlan House, from his book "My Work, My Way". Pickup category timeslot {A}
