A Fabulous Pottery Sculpture of a Baby Elephant Made in 1928

This superb and very cute glazed pottery sculpture depicts a baby elephant in a seated position. It is a one-off bespoke piece, modelled in thick heavy clay with very good detail.

The artist has captured a very natural pose, with good movement in the limbs, trunk, and ears, and a lovely expression on its face.

The skin is highly detailed, with numerous creases and wrinkles.

This very appealing sculpture is signed and dated, W Bates 1928.

The sculpture is in perfect condition but does have a few small light firing cracks produced in the kiln during its manufacture, as a result of the thickness of the clay.

English 1928

Height 20cm x width 14cm x depth 16cm
