It was made at Coll Pottery based on the Isle of Lewis in the late 1960s \/ early 1970s.       \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese pieces of vintage Coll studio pottery made on the Scottish Islands are now highly collectable.  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese quirky figurines depicting local life and customs were made by Marjory Maclellan, who made a variety of stylized clay figures to capture the heritage of life on the islands which was gradually dying out. She was probably looking at much earlier East Coast Potteries such as Prestonpans for her initial inspiration.  The figurine is rather naive and this adds to the charm of Coll Pottery.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is signed on the base Coll Pottery \/ Isle of Lewis,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model is a variant and features a fisherman returning from the sea and sorting out his catch. He has all his fish in one basket and it about to transfer it into another two empty ones in front of him. I love the texture of these baskets. He wears a yellow sou'wester hat. And a Scottish Arran woolly jumper. He has brown long trousers which are tucked into his waterproof boots or wellies. The figurine is placed on a circular green base, as photographed. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis model is a much larger size. The height is 9 1\/2  inches. The diameter of the base is 4 inches inches. In very good condition with no damage. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUK Postage will be Royal Mail Small Parcel Signed For.
