Hello Team CW!
I found this pretty lady today at the thrift. At first glance I thought she was a trophy but no. She stands about a foot tall, has no markings and I do not believe she is pot metal. Heavy! I would think she was from the 30s but maybe a 50s repro? Way out of my usual run of fun. Any hints on where to start to research her?

It's definately Frankart,Nuart style.I would start there.Regardless she is beautiful !!!
I just looked through a boat load of deco nude statue pics (A daunting task but one I took on whole heartedly :P) And found some very similar but could not find this one.Wish I could help more.(When I get my blood pressure down a bit I may check out some more)
Wow Hedge you are awesome! I am blind myself looking at naked ladies (hee hee).
Thanks for pointing me in a direction. You rock!
I have seen a wonderful ashtray with a similar lady on the handle on ebay yesterday. It was pot metal, good detail. Sometimes the marble does add a fair bit of weight. Here is a link, not identical but with the same freedom:
