Loving Couple on Bench, Unsigned Vintage Clay Sculpture carved and painted face This guy is not tiny--

This guy is not tiny-- 5 1/2" tall and 6 3/4" long -- and is satisfyingly substantial

Perhaps this was a railroad dining car plate for the Northern Pacific

and with the smoky ground

look a bit like tiny horse heads

The arms are leather strips

Loving Couple on Bench, Unsigned Vintage Clay Sculpture carved and painted face This guy is not tiny--These two! A perfect valentine of a sculpture if I ever saw one, but really just a great thing. Wonderfully modeled, with faces facing, arms crossing, and legs flirting, and with fabulously painterly glazing from their drippy blue features to their green and brown and blue outfits. With incised detailing for buttons, belts and laces in the shoes, and small sculpted breasts on the figure at left, while I think the one at right rather transcends gender.
