Featured kneeling woman ceramic statue

I saw this at the local thrift. It was all crazed, and the bottom was covered in red velvet. No maker's mark. Any idea what this is?

 

It looks like the Rosenthal nude woman drinking, but not so fine, and on a different base.

 

I think it might be Italian,and Id have jumped on her with both feet ! She's gorgeous!

 

What !!???
are ya trying to kill her ???
I'd have cradled her softly in both hands , supporting her weight in a loving embrace......& rushed her to the cash !!! BawHahaha!!!!!!

 

Oh my....

I've other ideas.

 

Originally I wasn't planning on buying it, but today I went back to see if there was anymore jewelry (picked up a pair of amber and sterling silver earrings for $3.) and couldn't resist. I'll take better photos once I get home.

 

Do you think it's worth anything?

 

Take the velvet off(soaking in warm water should do it) and see if its marked. If its a "name" it could have some value,but it already does have decorative value.

 

Need to see the bottom without the velvet.

 

The bottom is unmarked

 

The bottom is unmarked.

 

I was hoping it would be more like this:




This is by a German company named Heissner (better known for its garden gnomes).

I am surprised that's yours appears to be solid. There should be small holes for pressure release during firing. I think the fact that it is solid might indicate that it is older, maybe 19th C. But that could be wishful thinking.

 

I still say Italian.The more I look at her,the more I love her.

 

It feels hollow. Thr only hole is a very minor crack on its leg.

 

Got to say it doesn't look 19th C to me.
