Well Knocked Around Old Wire Jointed Man with Red Stockings and Large Hands ceramic figure on horse I must say it feels

I must say it feels quite luxurious to have this many to play with

And the paper label adhered to the slide lid is interesting and unusual

I found it at a sale with lots of mid-century Scandinavian

Well Knocked Around Old Wire Jointed Man with Red Stockings and Large Hands ceramic figure on horse I must say it feelsA sweet old painted, wire jointed figure, who looks rather French to me, and who I love most of all for those large hands with black paint against oyster white detailing each of his fingers. Perhaps there were once strings running through the wire loops at his joints that tugged at his limbs like a puppet, I am not totally sure. Now, he will balance in various positions on his own, including in a partial headstand! 8 7 8" t x 3 1 4" w arms down x 1".
