Carved Shoe with Bear Cub Inside! woman's head and I believe yellow wax

and I believe yellow wax crayon on white watercolor paper

represents Lithuania

For certain it has age to it

and in 1922 they began stamping each piece with the circular Jugtown Ware stamp

and he definitely has a patina on him

Carved Shoe with Bear Cub Inside! woman's head and I believe yellow waxYou know I'm a sucker for a little hand carved shoe, and all the better that it should have a bear inside! If this had been done in porcelain or carved in a more refined way I think it might be too cute for me, but as is I think it is exactly right! Those little front paws and oh, that little face! 3 3 4" l x 2 7 8" t x 1 1 4" w and in great condition, with a fair amount of age. A pretty perfect stocking stuffer, for sure.
