Description
8.5" (22 cm.) Bisque figure of little child posed seated upon a large chamber pot,his head slightly uplifted and his arms bent at elbows and raised,the left arm separately modeled and attached as a "lid" to the rest of the "decanter" body,having sculpted blonde hair with curly forelock,intaglio blue side-glancing eyes,closed mouth with shaded lips,sculpted white smock with draped gold and pink ribbon-sculpted neckline. Condition: generally excellent. Marks: Heubach (sunburst mark). Comments: Gebruder Heubach,circa 1912. Value Points: the rare character is artfully sculpted to allow its practical,albeit incongruous,use as a decanter while still retaining a realistic and delightful pose.
