Hand Painted Ceramic Egg Shaped Bank

By busydena, 14 November, 2008
Description

This piece is an 8" tall egg shaped bank made of ceramic or some kind of pottery. Appears to be hand-painted with a girl in a bonnet soaking her feet as her kitty-cat looks on. The back of the bank features the cat next to a bowl. The bottom is marked "Italy" and "EJ" I think....I'm not sure about the "J". There is a mark on the side that looks to be under the surface of the glaze, and looks original. Otherwise, it's in perfect shape.

 Any appraisal is apprecaited, along with aything you know about the maker/artist involved. :)
