Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful Owl Decanter.
 
It was made by the Brush Pottery (formerly Brush-McCoy until 1925).  It was part of their "Wise Birds" Line introduced in 1927.  It was advertised as "A New Line of 'Purse-Openers' for Every Store Everywhere."  The original ad and the pieces in this line are pictured above (Martha and Steve Sanford, The Guide to Brush-McCoy Pottery, pp. 8, 124-125)
 
This beauty is a Finely Molded Owl Standing on a Branch and Dressed in Pastel Colors. Inside at the bottom it reads, "Patent Applied For." Used to have a music box inside. Stands 10 3/4" tall.
 
Excellent Condition.  A couple of pinhead-size nibbles at the base, and some surface-only lines inside the base not visible outside.  Otherwise as made.
