Large slipware bird whistle Halifax Yorkshire circa 1800.
Dated: 1800 to 1810 Halifax Yorkshire.
A large-scale pottery slipware whistle formed as a bird (possibly a Cuckoo) perched on a horizontal branch mounted on a conical base in the form of a tree trunk. Four smaller birds are perched among the branches. The decoration is a striated cream and manganese slip. The whistle emanates a pleasing cuckoo call or a realistic soft cooing of a wood pigeon.

Current Condition: Good unrestored condition with only minor signs of wear commensurate with age.
Literature: The English Country Pottery by Peter C.D.Brears and in the Burnap Collection of English Pottery page 34.
