Apparently Fres-O-lone was a ceramic Company . They sold blank ceramic molds and also must have made some of their molds up to sold as these darling lamps look professionally done . I did see another figure that they made on ebay a man figure that also looks painted professionally like yours . Very Cute Lamps . They appear to be Christmas Caroller's, Hope this helps a little bit .Thanks for sharing them
Hi Lori,
These figurines probably once belonged to my late grandmonther Florence Fresolone. She owned a ceramics store in Union NJ and I believe the story goes is that my late uncle was the mold maker and my grandmother did the finishing work. By any chance is there an "FF" signed on the bottom? She always singed her pieces with her initials. I was so young I have no memories of the molds just the finished pieces. The shop probably closed when I was a toddler. She did such beatiful work.
Hope you enjoy this information,
