Note:
This 1961 box does not fit a standard 2014 box
of tissues although it has been used at my father and mother's house
since then and is now displayed.
It is up to you
if it needs to be fired again as the glaze is not vitreous but for over
fifty years it has been displayed at the house with no problem as is.
A
few areas of glaze have chipped off i.e. right side. Pencil drawing is
still visible, white round areas exposed on sides where 1st
firing glaze didn’t cover.

NUDE WOMAN
Circa late
1920s-1930
Wood Sculpture:
20 3/4 x 3 ½ x 4 inches

Note: This sculpture above was once a lamp, there are
holes on the bottom of the feet to connect to a base, and two holes—one
at the back of her neck to thread the wire which comes out at (the top)
the center of her forearm that is covering her head. Looks great
displayed lying down on a shelf or table.
