ARTIST INITIALS

This is a list of initials of artists who painted the lovely creatures known as Stangl Pottery Birds.  Each bird usually is marked with the number of the bird, the artists initials who painted the piece, and the Stangl indentifier.  This list is not complete and may not be entirely accurate - - and still some sets of initials remain unidentified.   If you have any additional information or think we may have made a mistake please contact us at stanglbird@mindspring.com.  This is the first time any such list like this has been made available to the world, so we are still piecing together all the information we can gather.   

But . . here it is and from the officers of the SBCC we say thank you to all those artists who have given us such joy and beauty.  Your work will never be forgotten !!

As has been widely published - -  it is believed that the "F" behind many initials means that it was decorated in Flemington, NJ.
