Dennis West Story Funnel Pie Bird * Golfing Santa at North Pole * ENGLAND

Description

Up for auction is this Collectible Pie Bird
Story Funnel ~ Golfing Santa at North Pole
made in England by Dennis West
Dennis West made nearly 30 of these, what I like to call - Story Funnels.  The story is not painted...Mr. West applied a lithograph to the funnel – please view all photos to assess the application.
This funnel depicts Santa Claus playing golf at the North Pole with two polar bears and Rudolph the reindeer is his caddie. Santa made the putt and the golf ball landed on the head of a walrus.
It measures nearly 3 ½” tall and is marked ENGLAND and DW.   This pie funnel was purchased direct from Mr. West.   No chips or cracks; there is all over crazing – the glaze is rough in some areas.
You can find other Dennis West Story Funnels
pictured in Linda Fields book, "Four & Twenty Blackbirds" volume 1
, pages 158 & 159.  Very Collectible! Thanks for stopping by, and GOOD LUCK Bidding.
