Mid-century Studio Pottery Stoneware Owl

Just a very good and owl-like owl I think, and tis the season! Mid-century I believe, found in Kansas City, hand-sculpted with incised details, and stamped on the bottom, though I haven't been able to place the mark. Very nice just perched somewhere. 

3” t x 3” 2 x 2 7/8” d and in very good condition, with a teeny tiny nick to the back of the right ear, not visible from front and very minor.
