Victorian Hand Painted Porcelain Bisque Cherubic Baby in Window Figurine

 

Here is a rosy cheeked, beautiful, milk drinking baby if I ever saw one. 

Blue eyes and blonde curls. From baby central casting.

Ambiguous sex with the babe wearing a pink tasseled stocking cap but also a blue neckerchief. Very clever.

The chubby baby hangs from a shuttered window in a fence or gate shaped container.

It is approx 3 1/2" tall and 2" wide. 

A very pleasing figurine to add to your collection.

The number 72 is stamped in the center of the bottom. 

Above that 29C5 is stamped. Two painted marks that could be the artist's initials.

Very well made for the Victorian era. 

In very good condition. No chips, cracks or crazing. 

Some shelf wear and minor manufacturing flaws.

Please see all the photos to be sure this is to your liking.

Sold as seen. 

Thank you for looking.

Cottagecore Grouping of Antique Frames and Photographic Images

I am offering this trio of framed photos as I found them. 

The wedding photo of little people is marked as a post card on the back and is in a lovely pierced metal floral frame with a metal easel back. You would want this lot for this frame alone. It's the coolest one. Also, someone used an old box of chocolates for the backing of this framed image. 

The bare bottom baby on a bear skin rug is also a photo post card I believe but I did not open up the back to find out. Soothing, archetypal picture in a nice wooden east lake type frame.

The man with his goat is an original image and the easel back only works precariously. You would need to reinforce it. The frame is not in great shape. The brass frame can also be wired for wall hanging.

I just loved this ramshackle camp or cottage collection of images grouped together when I saw them and offer them for your consideration and humor. Sure to make you smile and to leave your guests pondering. 

Please be sure to see all the photos and blow them up for the most accurate condition.

Thanks for taking a look.

Antique Bronze French Bulldog Figurine Frenchy Statue Frenchie

Measuring 3 1/2 inches long and standing 2 3/4 inches tall, this antique figurine of a French bulldog is in excellent vintage condition. A handsome little boy, he is very hard to photograph due to the dark brown coloring of the bronze. Please forgive the photographs, I tried to show his detail using different types of lighting.

The little Frenchy’s expression is unusual in that he seems to be listening to something behind him. Usually figurines of French bulldogs have their ears clocked forward. Most likely from the 1920s. 

Check him out in out Etsy shop here.

Jugendstil Movement 800 Silver and Glass Master Salt Antique Salt Cellar

This beautiful little open salt cellar is made of 800 silver and glass. The oriental influence in the silverwork and the lines of the forget me not flowers speaks so much to the German Jugendstil movement of the end of the 19th century.
This precious little item is marked Gisch 800. I went over the bottom section of the salt cellar with a bit of silver cleaner, I did not do the handle because I liked the patina.
I leave all future patina decisions to the future owner.
