Description
21" (53 cm.) Arranged upon a velvet-covered wooden platform is a charming scene featuring a bisque-head girl seated at a tea-table. The girl has blue glass eyes,painted features,open mouth,blonde mohair wig,carton torso,separately hinged legs,bisque forearms and is wearing a pretty cotton dress and bonnet,and holding a milk saucer in one hand and a felt ball in the other. She sits behind a table on which is arranged a bowl of fruit,and a little grey tabby kitten. A mouse is on the ground. Movements and Music. The little girl leans her head forward as the cat advances across the table to the bowl of milk that she is offering to her,But the milk is a tease,because the little girl lifts the bowl away just as the cat reaches it. She then teases the cat with the felt ball in her left hand. Her eyes open and close. Occasionally,she lifts both feet off the ground as a little mouse scampers across the floor. Music plays,according to the paper tune label there are two tunes,one being Petit Papa. Leopold Lambert,Paris,1900.
