DESCRIPTION:
This classic, high glaze Hedi Schoop design blends jauntiness with come-hither. Hedi Schoop produced ceramic art figures in the US from 1940-1958. The female figurine holds a basket in her right arm (which leads to a hollow in the statue that could be used as a planter or vase) and is akimbo with her left arm on a jutted hip. She wears a matching cream-colored/back-tied bikini top, ...head scarf and maxi sarong, and sports fiery red fingernails and lips. The bottom is stamped "Hedi Schoop Hollywood Cal." Measures approximately 13" x 7" x 4.5"and weighs 1 pound and 11 ounces. Local pick ups ok.
