Description

An Italian bust of a girl hand made from a light cream coloured pottery and finished with strong vibrant colours - underneath has a monogram signature 'TH'. No cracks, or repairs - there are some small chips to the base edge perimeter and back of her head. The crackle glaze finish is mainly to her head and neck areas. On closer inspection the potter’s fingerprints are evident on the blue palette. She's 15.5 cm high and looks happy, the date is estimated as early 20th century.
