Very rare Kevin Francis prototype colour trial Cowboy (brown) ceramic Face Pot with gold backstamp - A worldwide limited edition of 1. Face Pot Quote: "I've been through the desert on a horse with no name". Worldwide Limited Edition of One.

"I've been through the desert on a horse with no name" are lyrics from the song "Horse with no name" by the American folk rock trio America. Written by Dewey Bunnell, it was released on the Warner Bros. Label in Europe in late 1971 and in the United States in 1972. The song was met with commercial success and topped charts in Canada, Finland and the United States.

Face Pot is from a large Kevin Francis collection. Hand written notation on box reading "Cowboy - Brown". No chips, cracks or crazing observed. Displays very well, as depicted.

Fitting snugly into the palm of your hand, Face Pots were introduced in 2000 by Kevin Pearson and the art pottery team of Kevin Francis. Drawing on 18th Century Netsuke design combined with the best of art pottery and the English toby jug tradition, they became an immediate success and introduced a whole new genre of pottery commemoratives. Designed by top ceramic sculptors, each Face Pot is handmade and hand-painted in Stoke-on-Trent, England and made to the same high standard as traditional Kevin Francis releases. Each Pot contains a quote from (or associated with) the character portrayed.

A studio pottery approach resulted in limited production numbers of each Pot.
