• History....During this 1940's period, designer Royal Hickman was bringing his own very special, highly-stylized techniques to Haeger's corner of the pottery world. This pheasant duo is a fine example of Hickman's glaze creations, done in what's known as Mauve Agate. The heads, bodies, and long, elaborate tails of both birds wear a solid shade of pink (mauve) glaze. The magic of color, however, is present on their wings, chests, and the intricate bush-like bases on which they're standing: a graceful swirling of absolutely beautiful pastel glazes in shades from seafoam green to aqua, blue to periwinkle, hinting at purple. Cloudy, with almost an opalescent quality. Glaze is shiny and lustrous.
