Some chips on the inside of the shoe rim indicate that this little fellow has been around quite a while...the unglazed bottom and it's two bisected halves indicate the possibility of an American Bisque mold. I am only offering a ball park guess on origin of maker. All over decoration is that of a spray of sprigs in green and brown...

| mulberry colored flowers/buds, green accents for the leaves, and blue 'flower' accents with sienna sprigs. The method of decoration and color technique suggests an even earlier production time. The composition is light and fragile. There are some chips and a smaller indentation in the mold in the front of the shoe...the chips are followed by a hairline extended to the bottom 'lace'. There is another small hairline on the inside of the 'shoe' extending about the same distance. These are indicators of age, as well as accidents! The item has been priced to indicate it's condition. |
