Liquor- Harper Figural Liquor Decanter Bar Ad 16" Man

Large figural I.W. Harper liquor decanter portrays a dapper gentleman dressed in top hat and tailcoat bowing and raising his hand to his hat in greeting. Stopper is the top of the hat. He's 16-1/2" tall. Front of base is marked in gold with name. Bottom of decanter reads: Original mold made in 1955. Figure made in Portugal in 1969. Manufacturing marks to note: 3 grind marks on side of base and in cuff from the stilts on which it rested in the kiln indicating that it was fired on its side rather than upright which might have caused warping in such a tall thin piece; tiny white spot on hip of tailcoat and another under right forearm seems to be kiln junk or glaze bubble that was ground off; slight purple in glaze around A and R in gold letters of Harper. Another spot near two base stilt marks might be ground or might be a chip... it's hard to tell. In good condition otherwise. A nice dramatic piece for your bar or advertising collection.
