FROM MADEIRA WITH LOVE....!
Found in an estate liquidation on the island of Madeira in Portugal.
Vintage hand painted bisque figurine of an exotic dancer.
Mounted on a wooden base, the figure stands 8 1/2 inches tall.
It has an Art Deco vibe and although there is nothing visible to indicate its origins, I feel quite sure this was probably made in Japan for export, circa 1960s.
From years on display and prior handling, it has acquired a few scuffs on the bisque finish, the wooden base as well.
However, no chips, cracks or repairs detected. She is tight to the base.
I have inserted a standard size playing card in one photo as a reference for size.
MUCH OBLIGED
