This fantastic Exotic lady head vase is also a lamp. The pleated cloth fan she appears to be holding conceals a little light bulb and glows a warm pink when it's lit. Beautiful face. Flowered kimono with coiled frog fasteners that match her headress. Polished fingernails. Gold glaze trim & gold ribbon on fan. Color coordinated in shades of magenta pink, green, and turquoise. She is huge!!... just shy of 14" high... 13.75" to be exact x 10" wide x 7.5" deep. She is just wonderful! I've never seen another like her. None like this pictured in my head vase book either. No maker's marks.

The fan is paper backed cloth which was glued to a wire support behind it. When I purchased her about 30 years ago from an estate sale the fan had come unglued from the wire and gotten rumpled from being stored away. I glued it back but it came unglued again after a few years so I made tiny holes along the second line of gold trim through which I inserted fine wires which I attached to the wire support in the back. This has held and been a good solution. It's still a little rumpled and a bit faded (with a little bit of purple at the bottom edge) but I preferred to keep the original intact rather than replace it. There is a hairline crack in a not too obvious spot... where the bottom of the sleeve connects with the base and going down the side of the base. It actually comes from underneath where they tightened the lamp fixture too tightly when it was made. It was like this when I got it and since it's stayed the same for 30 years I don't think there's much danger of it getting any bigger. Light wear to gold trim at very front bottom edge. Everything else is in excellent condition.

Wonderful lighted porcelain bird figurine was made in Germany probably during the Art Deco era. I've seem other similar bird lamps glazed in the same colors that had factory markings or paper labels, but this one is impressed in the clay with only the word Germany and a number: 3780? last digit isn't legible. I'm not sure what type of bird it is... kingfisher? woodpecker? It has a yellow cockade... probably a bird indigenous to Germany. These unique lamps were used as night lights and/or perfume lamps to create an exotic atmosphere in boudoir or bedroom. He's sitting on a cluster of open ended twigs and since the light fixture is of the clip-in variety, he could also be used as a flower frog if so desired. It's really great looking in a darkened room. The figure glows as do the opentwig ends. Put a dab of perfume on the bulb and the heat will allow the scent to waft out of these openings too. I've had these lamps in with my perfume bottle collection for over 25 years. A hairline crack runs from front tip of yellow cockade to top of lightbulb opening, more noticeable in the yellow than the rest. Two small areas of glaze loss on back show up as white: one is to the right of the bulb opening and one is at lower left of tail. In very good condition otherwise. He's 9.5" high and 5" wide from tail to front foot.

This wonderful hors d'oeuvre man was probably made in the 1930's - 40's era when Fiesta dishes and all things Mexican were the height of fashion. His large sombrero is full of openings for toothpicks. There's a small old chip on the underside foot rim that may have occurred during the manufacturing when lifted from the kiln shelf. It can't be seen unless you turn him upside-down. He's 6.5" high and in extremely good condition. Great novelty "go with" for collectors of all 1940's Mexican patterns such as Hacienda, Mexicana, etc. and of course, the "fiesta" colored dinnerware as well.

1950's vintage pottery figurine is peasant girl in polka dotted dress carrying 2 flower pots. Her insides are hollow so you can use her as a flower vase and it will look like she's carrying 2 pots of flowers... similar in idea to the head vases of that era that looked like the flowers were in their hats. She's 6.25" high. The overall pink color is actually the color of the clay itself covered with a clear glossy glaze. You can see the same color on the base and it is not glazed there. Polka dots and stripes are colored slips in relief on the surface. There's an overall crackle in the glaze and the very point of her scarf in back has no glaze (either worn away or a very tiny flea bite... but it's smooth). She's in good condition otherwise. I've been told she was made by Betty Lou Nichols of California but there are no marks except 2 black lines on the underside. Purchased many years ago from an estate sale.
