This is a really charming item and I just had to pick it up when I saw it. It looks to be made out of ceramic. It is the bust of a lady who has a pin cushion on top of her head. On each side of the piece, the woman's hands 'hold' two small round holders for pins and things. She is very colorful, with a lot of green touched up by some orange/brown with mostly paler colors on her face. There are some chips on this piece, most notably on the front just under the neckline and a few on the round containers she is holding. I have no idea about this piece. I can't find any kind of maker's mark on it as of yet and I've looked pretty well. Measures 7 1'2" tall, 5 1/2" across the longest part of the base, and 3 1/4" from front to back on the base. As with any of my other items marked for sale, if I receive enough interest in this item, I will post it on Ebay and link to the listing from here. Thanks for any info, as always.
