Art Deco Danish Porcelain Bust of a Woman

Description

Offering what I have to call an "important" Danish porcelain bust, in terms of its size and captivating beauty.

Perched on a marbleized faux-finished wooden plinth, this lady fairly exudes the stylized beauty of the Art Deco period. The artist's presentation in an asymmetrical manner clinches the deal.

A while ago I separated the plinth from the porcelain and that's how I know it's Danish, as it's so marked on the bottom of the porcelain. And speaking of the porcelain -- what soft, subtle coloring!

Measurements: about 17 inches high. The plinth measures about 7 3/4 by 6 1/2.

Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: There are a couple of small places on the plinth where the paint has chipped off. Otherwise, full-on perfection! No issues with the porcelain.
