Small Carved Nude old Newbury crafters mouse and of a great scale

and of a great scale at 6 inches tall and long

Framed out on the back which adds to its object-hood and makes for easy hanging

What I love most about this vintage mid-century porcelain tiger is the relationship between its body and its face: its body is long and sleek

though almost seems like leather

The signature is close to the one Mårtensson used she to sign her ceramics

Small Carved Nude old Newbury crafters mouse and of a great scaleA humble little carving in many senses, but a pretty tender one I think, which makes me think the carver him or herself might have been a bit bashful about carving a nude. Mid 20th century or so I might guess, and unsigned. 4 1 2" t x 1 1 8" w x 1 1 4" d and in very good condition.
