This is the Goldscheider head that was copied by Kent Art Ware.
This photograph of Vaslav Nijinsky, the famed Russian ballet dancer and choreographer, was the model for KAW'S semi-nude woman carrying a bowl.
This silver Irish Setter by an unknown maker was copied by KAW down to the last detail.
The Kent Art Ware head of a young woman was modified in the factory to make a lamp.
This vase was also modified at the factory to become a lamp.
Here's the original Jessie Van Hallen figure made for Wade Pottery Studio in England.
A gentleman named Edwin sent me this photograph in May of 2024. It's our Papa Hippo with a whole new look. After close examination, Edwin came to believe it is the work of a ceramist copying a Kent Art Ware figure as opposed to painting over a KAW hippo. Thank you, Edwin, for sharing this.
