I finally got down to Outré, Sydney and picked up this little McLaren Owl that they had put away for me. It was a surprise gift for my wife, Alison, who had shown a liking to him in the most recent Outré catalogue. Needless to say, she was thrilled and the boys, including myself, have also taken to this little fellow.
"Gus and Betty McLaren together made a legendary body of work which represented the mid-century folk warmth of Australia in the 50s and 60s. In the wake of Gus's passing this year, Betty has continued to produce these classic pieces of Australian pottery from the original molds. It is an absolute pleasure for us to be showcasing a whole range of McLaren Ceramics. Beautifully handcrafted, original and symbols of an Australia that is still in our hearts. Nostalgic yet classic.
Absolutely authentic and wonderfully crafted."
