George Jones worked for Minton pottery in England before he went out on his own. This is one of the best pieces of antique Majolica pottery we have seen in quite awhile. This wonderful decorative piece measures 10 inches wide by 9 and one half inches deep and 5 and one half inches to the top of the squirrels head.Condition Excellent. No dings imperfections cracks. One tiny tiny little surface pin head glaze flake.
