Manchester Tourist Item

This painted ceramic miniature is from England. The seller told me that various areas around England sell tiny cash registers with the emblems of the area as tourist items. Most of them are rather expensive, but I got this one for $25.00.

Enesco Mouse Cashier

Although the cash register is only a small part of this little Enesco figurine, I was captured by its delicate and detailed sculpture. There is a sense of gentleness and serenity here.1984.

*A Top Ten Favorite

Limoges

Limoges made a set of these in various colors including silver, red and others. Very pretty and hand painted. Limoges Castel France Porcelane, 1972-1985.

A relatively non-discript ceramic miniature. 

This Cottage Rose style ceramic has a matching "child" in super mini. How beautiful! 

Two Part Figurine

This is a nicely detailed figurine, remarkable because you can remove the top to show tons of money underneath. I love the little moneybag sitting on the shelf there.

Figurine

This Fitz & Lloyd figurine has some nice detailing. Made in Japan.

"Pink Flamingo"

This is unquestionably the most tacky ceramic object I've ever seen. I'm not quite sure why I bought it (other than its relative rarity), or why I kept it. Still, as Bette Midler said, "I wouldn't say I invented tacky, but I definitely brought it to its present high popularity." Made by Ceramaster.  

Bookends!

Not a sterling example of sculpture design, but who could resist bookends? Not me!
