Our foster pei, Ziggy. Whereever you need to be, he’s in the way, and no, he’s NOT moving. Find another route.

I picked this up today in Florida, because Google lens indicated it is likely created by “Southern folk artist Billy Ray Hussey.” I plan to give it to my sister, she lives in North Carolina, so I thought it would be nice if the artist was local to her.

When I got home, I found an exact match, which only states “Elephant Handle Red And Black Vase,” but doesn’t indicate any studio. I’m unable to find a maker’s mark. Is it just an exact copy from a mass-produced source? I’d like to give my sister accurate background information.

Side note, I didn’t even realize the handles are elephant heads until I got home, and read the description on Live Auctioneers lol. The glaze is what caught my eye. Thanks in advance.
