A colorful flapper with a wide-brimmed hat in
light blue, and a sleeveless blouse in orange and iridescent green. Incised: "Made In Germany" across her lower back
and front of her base; she is stamped: "Germany" in red on the back of
her base. We can find no numbers incised on this
figure. A similar figure, numbered "14505", appears on page 157 of the
Encyclopedia. There was apparently a series of
similar dolls produced, almost certainly by the same company, and all decorated with iridescent glaze. There is a
marking in red inside her base which appears to be the number "32";
however we are always hesitant to say with absolute
certainty that this is a number, as decorators would quite commonly "sharpen" their brushes on the inside
of a figure's base before applying small details such as lips or eye lids. Of
interest on these figures is indeed the eye decoration -
some appear with both upper and lower lids lined, while another decorator was
a bit more restrained, lining only the upper lid. When compared side by side,
this variation in treatment creates quite a marked difference in appearance.
