A Contemporary Lawson Rudge Stylised Raku Fired Ceramic Cow Figure - A contemporary studio ceramic sculptural figure of a stylised Friesian cow by Lawson Rudge. The sculpture is constructed from raku fired earthenware, featuring a slab-built rectangular body that tapers towards a naturalistic head depicted in a grazing pose. One flank is decorated with circular black spots of varying sizes against an off-white crackle-glazed ground. The reverse flank displays a large, graphic black numeral 2 set within incised curved linear patterns and sgraffito detailing. The figure exhibits characteristic raku effects, including a fine craquelure glaze and areas of oxidised smoking. The hooves, horns, udder, and tail are finished with unglazed, textured surfaces. The piece features a prominent construction seam running along the spine and rear. This lot comprises the ceramic figure only; the wooden shelving shown in the images is not included.
