Spontaneous brushwork swoops over the stoneware sparrow’s back, becoming feathered wings and giving the small ceramic bird a unique individuality in each slip cast form. It is this humanistic touch that makes the work of Andersen Studio so appealing. The economic simplicity of the sculptural form, the reflective surface of the ebony glazed eyes and the soft gentle brown tones all combine into a classic and unpretentious work of American ceramic nature art. This small ceramic sparrow by Andersen Studio of Maine is three inches long.
