The Andersen Studio Gull with a Yellow Beak Sculpture portrays this majestic shore bird as it is often seen sitting on the sea’s shore. The essence of the seagull is captured with an economy of form, so perfectly proportioned that the sculpture could be mistaken for a real bird. A soft gray decorating color brushed across the gull’s back suggests the bird’s wings. A long tapered tail is finished in a reflective ebony glaze. A curved beak is brushed with a sandy yellow clay decorating slip. All contribute to a quietly stated orchestration of ceramic surfaces that make this classic ceramic nature art seem so effortless. The stoneware Gull with Yellow Beak stands 11 inches long
