Bossons My 2 Jocks First 1961 Design and Second 1969 Design

Description: The original 1961 design of "Jock" was a bit more whimsically rendered. We found this one at an antique mall and admit it appears a bit touched up, but beautifully done and overall this is in really fine condition considering the age. It has the original hanger and tag that protrudes rather than being recessed and there are virtually no scrapes on the back, so this one was hung and remained so for most of it's existence. The second design of "Jock" was done in a more realistic tone and reminds me of "Darby O'Gill" and in fact it looks as though he may have had a few more "Pints" judging from his more prominent proboscis. This one is in excellent original condition and both of them display the single lower tooth as part of the character portrayal.Bossons is the name given to an extraordinary collection of character wall masks, figurines, shelf ornaments, animal studies, wall plaques, lamp bases, bookends, wall clocks, thermometers, barometers, pottery figures and mirrors that were produced by the W. H. Bossons Company of Congleton, England between 1948 and 1996......each one handpainted and detailed. The brainchild of a talented father and son team, they have become highly sought after works of art all around the world, but especially in the USA and England. Both W. H Bossons and his son W. Ray Bossons studied pottery making in Stoke-on-Trent.What started out as a single Christmas gift for my wife in the 80's turned into a frequent search of the small gift shops, smoke shops, and antique and collector shops building a wonderful collection that we added to for years. When we downsized to a smaller house with much less wall space, we inevitably faced the fact that if they are not displayed, they should be offered to other people who also find the "Bossons" a beautiful addition to their décor.Over the next couple of weeks we'll be listing many Bossons, if there's one you're looking for let me know and as always happy to combine to save on shipping costs.
