Vintage CALIFORNIA POTTERY Cobalt Blue Pig or Boar, possibly a toothpick holder, hand made by The Four Star Line in Hollywood. VERY RARE POTTERY MAKER. Extensive research failed to turn up any other pieces by this maker. Likely dating to the 1950's, this cute little piggy is just under 3" tall and 2 1/2" long, marked on the underside. He has a few tiny flea-bites over his right eye and on his ears and nose, see pics #13-15, but NO other chips, cracks or repairs. Rich, thick glaze is free of crazing. Please review all photos, as they are part of this description.
A very hard-to-find representative for your collection of California pottery!
