"June Bug Moon" - 1994
"June Bug Moon"
#255 - 1994
Pale Blue
2.1 D x 1.25 H inches
The inspirataion for this theme came from an experience that I had one late spring evening walking near a red oak sentinel tree. A loud, deep sound was heard, so I looked up to try to find the approaching large, old propeller plane that the Army Reserves used when flying between bases (our home is under the general area of their flight path). It was not seen, so I focused closer in and discovered a large number of June Bugs emerging from the leaf litter under the red oak tree. It was the time of the new moon then.

I would like to explain the pricing of the vintage carved porcelain presented here. When the carved porcelain pieces were completed their prices were assigned. Now that two to three decades have passed, their original prices are outdated. I used a Department Of Labor inflation calculator to determine what the original prices would be in current dollars. The last calculations were done in 2017 for the current pricing, and for some created an unreasonable price. I have modified the prices which still acknowledge their vintage and collectible status.
Hand-carving the small sculptural porcelain pieces took careful and time-consuming effort. The more complex and detailed sculptural pieces have higher prices that are directly related to the amount of time that it took to reach a quality completion.
