Soulful (and a Bit Venus-esque) Old Porcelain Figurine Fragment with Awkward Skirt

Regular price $45.00

Some things just possess a sort of beauty that is hard to describe. I spotted this little one laying flat in a glass topped case and there was just an immediate sense of recognition. Not much more to her than a head and broken armed torso (making her feel like an ancient Venus of sorts) but she has quite a soul! With something about this awkward linen wrap around her waist with squashed down ruffled hem just the right thing too.

2 5/16" t. Exactly as found. Hand-painted porcelain. I would guess late 19th/earlyish 20th century?
