Could you tell me the origin of this figurine that is marked STANGL?
S.G., LITTLE NECK, N.Y.
German-born Johann Martin Stangl began working at Fulper Pottery in Flemington, N.J. in 1910. By the late 1920s his name became synonymous with the pottery. Though he acquired the firm in 1930, its name did not change until the mid 1950s. Stangle was also known for making pottery dinner sets and giftware. From 1939 until the factory closed in 1978, he created a very popular bird line based on wildlife drawings by John James Audubon (1785-1851) for his seminal Birds of America.
