A very cute small Chinese white glazed turtle attributed to North Carolina potter Virginia Shelton of J.B. Cole Pottery. On the base bottom there is an indication that there are some initials, but they are almost completely mostly obliterated by the glaze. In excellent condition, this little guy would make for a perfect and fun paperweight and a great piece for the collector. Measures 1.75" high, 2.5" diameter.

Tall Oribe style bottle vase which was thrown round and paddled square with a texture about the surface and a band of black and white herringbone design near the top. The bottom shows where the wads were ground off and this area is smooth to the touch.
