[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 36354, member: 267"]Right, thanks Bev and all - forgot about the term Putti. :p This is nowhere near as stylish or high-concept as Polowny/Werkstatte... It does have a high, crystalline ring to it, isn't super-duper kitschy, some care has gone into the original modelling i.e., the strap across chest and back is part of the mold, not just painted - but no attempts were made to correct random flaws to the mold. Maybe not a centerpiece? the decoration doesn't go all the way 'round. I thought I'd give it a shot and learn a little more about Victorian porcelain - I rescued it from Habitat for humanity (!) - but now I have to actually sell it to get my 10 bucks back! duh Books are probably a better investment, right?! These rescues are starting to add up.[/QUOTE]
