This bird has a deep well for ash, a place to rest a cigarette, and a small holder for your match book on it's tail feathers.

A little history -- during Cowan Pottery's relatively short life order span (1912-1931), it is documented that R. Guy Cowan and his staff produced over 850 different shapes and used over 160 different glazes to provide his customers with an array of decorative art choices. This bird is quite rare, and Cowen Pottery has grown in popularity in recent years.

This bird ashtray is in perfect condition with no chips, cracks or stains. It looks as though it has never been used, but rather admired or displayed. You'll be pleased to add it to your bird collection, tobacciano collectibles, or Cowen Art Pottery collection.
