Description: FREE SHIPPING Beautiful and RARE Cowan Pottery (Rocky River, OH) limited-edition figure, NAUTCH DANCER, designed by Waylande Gregory. Die-impressed marks. Made in 1930 or 1931. Inspired by an actual dancer named Gilda Grey, whose Nautch (a pleated, but otherwise tight-fitting dress) was key to the nautch dance she performed on vaudeville stages. Few examples of this design were made--although a similar example is in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art. Glazed in a dark version of Shadow White. Height is 17.5". Factory new condition. No nicks, chips, hairlines, or repairs. Note one small glazed-over base nick, as shown in the photos. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. Questions?

As a member of the American Art Pottery Association (AAPA), I guarantee my merchandise to be as described. If you are unhappy for any reason, you are also welcome to return the piece, but will need to pay shipping both ways, in addition to any fees I am charged by either ebay or Paypal.
