About the Item

The dark eyes with the slightly raised eyebrows give this bust an intriguing lost-in-thought expression. This pensiveness is underscored by the slightly offset handlebar-moustache over the closed lips. The "Sepia" color scheme of chestnut-brown hair and vanilla-cream skin along with that magnificent mustache immediately take us back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Made by the renowned West-German pottery and ceramic manufacturer Scheurich, this ceramic sculpture probably dates from the late 70's, early 80's and will make a great shop display, headphones holder or stand for your favorite hat or wig. This head is in good condition with no chips or cracks. There is a small fault in the glazing on the right eye-brow and the model number 701 is just barely visible on the base. Dimensions: Height: 30cm (11.8 in) Diameter: 19 cm (7.5 in) Packed with extra care for safe shipping! Packed with extra care for safe shipping! Please note: With a lifetime of stories behind them, our vintage design items come with a bit of character. Like the best of us, they may have picked up some scratches and scuff marks, acquired patina, and that original shine may have faded a little. And like with most of us, the internal struggles are not always visible to the outside world. Our second-hand items may not fulfil state-of-the art safety standards and codes in your region. Inner faults may exist that were missed by us. Please always consult with a certified professional before installing any electrical items.
