    This simple figurine was my father's favorite keepsake from his mother's kitchen. He lost his mother when he was young and was very close to her. This figurine sat in our kitchen on a high shelf all of my life. Last year it was accidentally knocked off the shelf and shattered. My father is truly heartbroken. We have tried to glue the pieces back together but, as you can see, it is irreparably damaged. Has anyone seen anything like this anywhere or have any idea where I might look to replace it? I believe it was most likely made in the 1940s or 50s based on it's history. My grandmother lived in Kansas all of her life, and did not own many items from outside the area. The base is missing so I do not know if there are any significant maker's marks.

    She is about 8 inches tall.

      It looks like some of the California pottery makers, pieces, of the 1920's-40's, Brayton Laguna, Kay Finch, or Kaye of Hollywood, just a few, and maybe some direction. Hope it helps!
      Sorry that this happened, to this great figurine of your fathers past, but this repaired piece, has new history, for you to remember, and still cherish! :^)
