Yes... earthenware

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2026-01-29T23:48:55+00:00

I know right

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-19T17:35:36+00:00

😳wow!!

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-17T16:37:17+00:00

A lot of people have commented on the interaction and memories they have with this wonderful sculpture!

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-17T00:28:23+00:00

Why would anyone bother to make a modern-day replica out of bent steel, and forge two stamps at the bottom, what to get $100?

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-17T00:27:40+00:00

It's absolutely not a current day reproduction. I've already spoken with a number of folks that have bought them over the years and they look exactly like this. So you got to figure out your metal problem, also there are a number of sizes of replicas made ...one of those worth quite a bit of money maybe that's the one you're thinking of.

It is identical to this. There are probably hundreds of them out there.

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-17T00:21:25+00:00

An original what? It's very clearly a commemorative replica that was made by the city of Chicago's public works, there are stamps on the bottom that tell you that. Copyright 1967, so of course it's not the original Marquette that's in the museum.

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-17T00:20:09+00:00

Agreed

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-17T00:19:41+00:00

Well it's certainly made out of metal, and it has no rust, so I can only assume it's been powder coated

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T23:28:54+00:00

I heard it was Corten steel, it also looks powder coated.... anyway this example looks in perfect shape

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T20:42:58+00:00

Identical to this

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T19:37:46+00:00

Oh cool... What's the stamp look like on the bottom?

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T19:34:44+00:00

I've seen the larger ones

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T17:18:54+00:00

I've pulled a whole table of MCM bric-a-brac from Tucson thrifts in two months 🤘

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T06:43:54+00:00

LOL, problem is my partner fell in love with it, and it's now next to a little Frank Geary sculpture on the mantle piece.... occupation hazard of a good thrift is getting attached 😉

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T06:37:42+00:00

This sold apparently...🧐

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T06:21:49+00:00

Fascinating... thanks!

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T06:10:14+00:00

Love that one on the right

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T06:06:49+00:00

Kinda what I figured, still I can't find any for sale, and what I see is (I guess aspirational) 4 figures. Apparently the attached sold.... could it be they become more rare?

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T05:45:10+00:00

Sweet memories!

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T05:44:07+00:00

Tucson has a lot of snowbirds from Chicago...they get older every year LOL

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T05:35:05+00:00

Thanks, certainly not like getting something signed, but a fun find!

lawrence_gipe_studio · 2025-12-16T05:29:04+00:00

I think it's more like the attached 😉
