ellis ceramic ram 1960

i couldnt believe my luck i found one of these little beauties on sunday morning at dapto markets in mint condition, lime green and black , the marketeer wanted $75 , i thought thats pretty good , im sure ive seen one before fetch well over $200 on ebay , we settled on $70 ....apparently this little fella was made in 1960 by ELLIS ceramics , a highly collectable and sought after piece of australian mid century design, a number of animal figures were made in this time , including heavily glazed stylized lions and rams ........i will hang onto him for a little while and enjoy .
