Vintage Parian Bisque CherubI almost never buy parian ware that is not 19th century, but I was so charmed by the fine mold of this vintage cherub. He is fitted to hang as an ornament, so I have him a beautiful, pink velvet ribbon. Hes in very good condition without chips or cracks. No marks.

Fits 12” of books & extends to about 20”

Scrawled on the back: “We for victory

but it’s lighter than iron and comparable to spelter

This dramatic and unnerving early Victorian print is one of 96 copper plate engravings in the Picturesque Views in England and Wales series undertaken by famed Romantic painter J
