In the late 19th century and early 20th century. The Martin Brothers in England produced stoneware scultpures of really ugky birds. They were called grotesqueries, were used has tobacco jars and popular during the Arts and Crafts movement. Has any one of you seen intarsia versions of these? Made them? Have pictures? Go google "Martin brothers ugly bird" and you will see what I am talking about.
