Item: 67 Description: U-1965B Unmarked Porcelain “Gingerbread” Style with a Metal Shell. Based on their shapes and sizes, collectors have nicknamed variations of this style as: gingerbread boy, gingerbread man, gingerbread momma, gingerbread grandpa, etc, etc. So that I guess that would make this one a “Gingerbread Soldier” … or, maybe, “Gingerbread Knight”. The NIA website says these were found in Tunisia and were likely made in France. This example has much of the porcelain insulator broken out as shown in View 2. Note: The photos were taken in direct sunlight with a white cloth backdrop. How to grade this one? The metal shell is undamaged, but the porcelain part is just a specimen. Estimate: $100 - $150 Open: $75 Price realized: $170 |
