Painted Earthenware, 15.5cm (6) high. Kilkenny Design Workshops stamp

In 1964, a year after Kilkenny Design Workshops (KDW) were set up, Oisin was appointed 'Design Co-ordinator' at KDW and under contract to work two days a week which enabled him to give up his teaching job. These stoneware pieces were cast from Oisín's original model and later hand-painted by Marie Hennessy and were very popular when sold in the Kilkenny Design Shop in Nassau Street.

This lot is being sold in aid of Oxfam Ireland.
