    Description

    Up for auction is this Collectible Pie Bird
    Story Funnel ~ Cow Catcher
    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 story depicts a standoff between a Bull and a Locomotive Train Engineer.
    It measures 3 ¼” tall and is faintly marked EN*****.   This pie funnel was purchased direct from Mr. West -- as you can see in the photos, he touched up the lithograph in some areas prior to glazing and the color isn't an exact match.   No chips or cracks; there is all over crazing and 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!
