Gort Pottery, famous
for its "Bone China," was founded by two brothers, Eric and
Walter Gort. Having been born in Russia, they set up shop in Metuchen,
NJ in 1944. Unfortunately, their endeavor was short lived. They closed
the company in1954. However, the quality of their offerings
is unsurpassed. Eric Gort was the artist with a background in the
Theater. His attention to detail is exemplary. A large number of birds and animals
were created and all are first rate. Most figurines
are marked. Ming-Poo, from the bottom of his feet to the top of his
head, is about 4" tall. The bench is just under two inches
high when measured at the corners. Overall from floor to top of his
head, as he sits, he's just under 5." Ming-Poo did not survive his
journey from the '40's unscathed. His hat has been professionally and
invisibly restored as has the bottom of the bench. This is a
quality piece decorated by one of Gort's outstanding artists:
Priolo. (Item 3518)
