15.5cm (6”) high. Kilkenny Design Workshops stamp

After the original by Oisín Kelly and hand painted by Marie Hennessy;

Together with another smaller model of a “Wren”. (2)

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.
