Product Overview
Vintage ceramic figure in the shape of a mammy holding a bowl. Appears to be a spoon or utensil holder of some sort. The piece is signed "Juanita" on the base and stamped with a "'45." Nice condition with no chips or crack or other damage or major wear. There is some crazing to the glaze as pictured. This piece is reminiscent of a Royal Doulton piece from that era where the mammy is mixing batter in a bowl....but this piece is hollow and the bowl has an opening. Measures 8 inches tall. Refer to the photos for a better idea of the style and condition, you will receive the exact mammy figure that is pictured.
This art pottery piece was found in the estate of a prominent African American educator who was compiling Black Americana and Black Memorabilia items for a museum prior to her death.
