The Flower-Seller by
Charles Maillard
7 1/2" high, 9" long,
6" across. One of the truly great pieces that he did, a triumph of sculpting as
well as faience. The tension and balance between her flowing skirts and her
large basket, pierced and ready to be filled with water and flowers, if you
choose, are a marvel of good design. She is a lovely centerpiece, where she can
be viewed from all sides, or, on a sideboard, where a mirror behind her will
double the effect.
Signed on the bottom:
HENRIOT Quimper, CH. MAILLARD. Ca. 1930, when so much exciting work was being
done there.
