Extraordinary Large-Sized Glazed Figure of a Peacock with Three-Color Slip Decoration, attributed to Arie Meaders, Cleveland, GA, circa 1956-1969, wheel-thrown and hand-modeled sculpture in the form of a standing peacock featuring a serrated crown and long, scalloped tail, decorated throughout with blue, green, and olive slip highlights under a translucent gray glaze. Imposing in size, highly unusual in form, and remarkable in its profuse brushed slip decoration, which includes oval peacock's eyes throughout the tail, this sculpture is among Arie Meaders's finest birds known. Excellent condition with one tine of peacock's crown professionally restored. L 18 1/4" ; H 13 3/4".
