Ceramic Arts Studio Betty Harrington Design Squeaky Squirrel Blue 3" Figurine 1942-1946

ITEM DESCRIPTION

This charming vintage Ceramic Arts Studio “Squeaky Squirrel” figurine was designed by Betty Harrington for Ceramic Arts Studio of Madison, Wisconsin. Measuring approximately 3" tall, Squeaky features Harrington's whimsical interpretation of a squirrel with a dramatically curled tail and wonderful sculpted details.

This example is finished in a beautiful soft blue glaze with lighter highlighting, which brings out the modeling of the face, paws, body, and large curled tail.

This Ceramic Arts Studio piece comes from an exceptional lifetime collection of well over 1,000 pieces, including figurines, salt & pepper shakers, head vases, and other Ceramic Arts Studio designs. Carefully assembled over many years, the collection represents an extraordinary gathering of Ceramic Arts Studio pieces. We were very fortunate to acquire more than 500 pieces from this collection and make them available to our buyers.

DESIGNER HISTORY

Betty Harrington began designing for Ceramic Arts Studio in the early 1940s and became the designer most closely associated with the company. During her approximately 14 years with the Studio, Harrington created more than 800 designs, including people, animals, storybook characters, dancers, and other imaginative figures.

PATTERN & DESIGN

Squeaky Squirrel is a wonderful example of the playful animal figures associated with Betty Harrington's work for Ceramic Arts Studio. The exaggerated curled tail dominates the composition, while the raised head, small paws, rounded body, and expressive facial modeling give the little squirrel considerable personality.

The blue glaze is especially attractive because it settles into the recessed details and emphasizes the sculpted lines throughout the figure. At only about 3" tall, this is a delightful smaller Ceramic Arts Studio animal figurine and an excellent addition to a Betty Harrington or Ceramic Arts Studio collection.

This measures 3" High x 1 5/8" Wide base. I have provided many pictures to best describe the condition of this Figurine.
