Description: Vintage1980's Windy Meadows potteryHouse "Rachels Roadhouse " # 3 of 100 made 1986signed Jan Richardson & LCB Made in Knoxville, Md. Large house NO ISSUES NOT ON THIS HOUSE. Found out that the x on the name area means that some issue was noted in the making of the piece. I do not see it. Approximately 10" tall x 9" wide x 6" deep This collection was owned by a collector that lived near Knoxville, Md (the birthplace of this pottery collection). These houses/cottages are beautiful and unique. Each piece in this collection is part of a limited edition of either 50 or 100 made. Each piece in the edition is still unique to every other piece, the house is the same style but could have a different metal roof or color of house. No one will have the exact same house as yours. Insert from Windy Meadows site...Private Collection Candle Houses have been created since early spring of 1977 and more than 400 separate editions have been issued. These editions are of various sizes from small editions of 5 to larger editions of 250. The edition sizes will typically be 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 100 or 250. At one time any edition of 50 was referred to as the House Collection, any edition of 100 was the Cottage Collection and the editions of 250 were the Nostalgia collection and tended to be named after wildflowers or herbs Within each edition it is possible that one number will have a shingle roof and then the next number might have a tin roof. Also the colors, textures (brick, clapboard, stone, etc) and specialized embellishments will differ from piece to piece. What will remain consistent within the edition are the architectural shapes and features. With all of these variations each piece is totally unique. Each Candle house has been made entirely by hand, no molds are used.With a few exceptions the roof lifts away to allow the insertion of a tea light or other lighting. Each piece is marked in the inside of the back roof with the title of the house, the number and edition size, Jan Richardson and in some instances the name or initials of the assistant builder as well as Windy Meadows Pottery, Knoxville, Maryland; Ocean Park, Washington or Safety Harbor, Florida and St Petersburg, Florida. Also the year of construction is noted. In the case of a roof that has no obvious front or back "Front" is written on the inside of the front roof. Other authentications may be found in the number on the front of the house and the "Jaana" button on the back; a small clay seal about ½" diameter on the back of the house. A few early editions had a removable section in the back for candle insertion and documentation was written on this section. In the early years of Windy Meadows Pottery, especially 1977-78, there were a great number of one of a kind houses. Most of these became part of collections in the mid Atlantic states.
