Description:From our own collection we offer a circa 1938-1942 LARGE TWIN WINTON SQUIRREL FIGURINE. This wonderful figurine was designed and sculpted by 19 year old Don Winton after his brother Ross and he founded Twin Winton Studios in 1938 later to become Twin Winton Ceramics. After WWII, Don Winton began designing for dozens and dozens of companies including Disney. Some of his more famous designs include the Emmy Award, the Country Western Music Award, and the iconic Mickey Mouse telephone, to name a few (see last photo). His early works when he and his twin brother founded Twin Winton Studios are highly sought after by collectors. The third to last photo is of a 1938-1938 wholesale catalog that shows this figurine. The second to last photo shows Don (R) and his twin brother Ross (L) at work in 1938. This figurine measures 9.5 inches tall by 6 inches wide and has no chips, cracks, fleabites, or repairs. There is some age crazing, as expected for a piece of this age.
ABOUT US : We are avid Burke-Winton Studio and early Twin Winton Studios pottery collectors who have decided to sell the majority of our 450 piece collection that includes a great many rare and hard to find pieces. We are just starting to list them on and will also be offering them locally via Facebook Marketplace for local pick up in S. California. We were friends of the family and maintain Don Winton's written archives along with his daughter, Kristi. We are getting up in age now and feel this is the time to let go of the vast majority of the collection we truly love so that others can enjoy them, as well.
