DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Babbacombe Pottery Owl Figurine by Lownds Pateman<\/p>\n

This characterful vintage English art pottery figurine depicts a finely modelled owl perched above captured prey on a naturalistic woodland-style base.<\/p>\n

The owl is decorated in softly mottled brown, cream, white and black tones, with expressive yellow eyes and carefully rendered feather markings. Its naturalistic modelling and compact size give it considerable decorative appeal, making it a distinctive piece for a display cabinet, bookshelf or collection of vintage bird figurines.<\/p>\n

The underside carries the printed circular backstamp:<\/p>\n

by Lownds Pateman<\/p>\n

This printed mark confirms the Babbacombe Pottery attribution and English origin. Although the figurine is clearly vintage, an exact production date has not been established, so no unsupported manufacturing year has been assigned.<\/p>\n
