This is a comical statue of Napoleon Bonaparte in the form of a bough pot, made of French majolica. This colorful chap stands on a plinth base, scepter in hand; his 18th century style hat doubles as a crocus or bough pot. The modeling, painting, and glaze are masterfully done; the face and stance form a great expression! The underside base is unglazed; it has impressed marks in italics of 22 and 1604, and the mark 165 in painted lettering. Dimensions (in inches): 6.7 H X 3.5 D X 4.5 W. Weight: 1 Lb., 1.0 Oz. The date is late 19th Century circa 1895. There may have been some professional restorations done previously - none visible. Good condition; having no chips or cracks, other than normal wear. Thanks for Looking!
