Had this for a couple months as well. A large white swan planter. It measures 7" tall and about 8" across. There are some faint letters stamped on it's side at the bottom. One is definitely and "S" Could be "USA" but the "S" appears to come first. Nothing on the glazed bottom but a seam running down the middle..Very clean and undamaged. Some molding imperfections and crazing. -Mike-
I have a Hull one very similar.
This is supposed to be shawnee

Says USA on side like yours. Still don't know for sure if yours.
The Ebay one sure looks like mine right down to the imperfection on the wing tip they mention.
Maybe it is yours!
I meant maybe they all have the same rough worn mark and same wing tip imperfection when molded
I was pretty sure it was Shawnee anyway. The flaw in the wing tip they mentioned on the Ebay one must be in the mold so that's another identifier.
Yep. Of course there's always Ervin. He does Shawnee.
I think this is Sebring Pottery - they often put USA on the side of their pieces. You would be surprised how many Sebring pieces get misidentified as McCoy and Shawnee. I have a Sebring Pottery catalog page that shows this swan. They were made in 7", 10" and 14". Catalog #C-208, C-214, C-209
Correction: The pottery is Stanford in Sebring, Ohio.
