Ceramic Church

Please note:

"One of the events of the late 70’s was the relationship between Mudlen End and ‘Around The Corner’, an American company dealing in craft items. Initially they bought cottages as any other buyer but then formed agreements with Mudlen End which produced cottages and stamped them “made for Around The Corner”. Then, for reasons better know only to themselves, they took the Mudlen End cottages to another pottery and asked if they could produce them. This pottery simply copied each model, presumably by making a mould straight from them, this is why they are smaller than their original Mudlen End counterparts. There is an ethical question regarding this but no laws broken. Some models were adapted slightly but generally they looked the same, although the colours could never be replicated, they are fairly easy to pick out as copies."

This collectible ceramic church measures 3 ¼" x 1 ½" (at its widest) and 2 ¾" at its tallest point.

**While there are no chips or cracks, the church does have considerable crazing, which more than likely occurred during the firing process. Please examine the photos and do let me know if you would like more as I'll be happy to oblige.

**Please use the zoom function with all photos to get a clear, close-up view of the ceramic.

The bottom has a stamp that reads: Made in England for Around the Corner of West Hollywood, Ca. There is also an illegible logo and what appears to be sticker residue.

Thank you to http://www.mudlenendcollectors.com/james-hart-first-workshop-mudlen-end/ for the interesting article on the collection's creator, James Hart, and also on Mudlen End Studios.
