A single glazed ceramic decanter modeled by Royal Doulton for Whyte & Mackay Scotch Whisky. The piece is sculpted in the form of a Short-Eared Owl perched on a textured rocky base. The figurine is executed in naturalistic colors, including high-gloss browns, tans, creams, and beige glazes. The base includes an opening designed for a stopper, confirming its function as a decanter or flask for spirits. The underside is extensively marked with stamped text, including the model name “SHORT-EARED OWL,” the commissioner “WHYTE & MACKAY SCOTCH WHISKY, GLASGOW, SCOTLAND,” the modeler “MODELED BY John T. Tongue 1984,” and the official Royal Doulton mark.
