I found this gorgeous nude lady flower frog at an estate sale today. The bottom appears to show Germany with a 6 in red. I have found the same item on the internet, but, not much information other than it is from Germany and it is Art Deco or Art Nouveau. I think it is Art Nouveau. Anyway, I think it is gorgeous. And, I find it fascinating that the elbow and the butt area have dimples to show muscularity/thinness/and movement.
If you have any information or ideas on this beautiful lady, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for looking! And, enjoy! - Mary
Very nice piece, love it, unusual.

Definitely an art deco design. They made most of this ware in Germany and most of the flower frogs which I have had a small collection, were done in a white glaze. Very few I ever saw were painted, so this is quite unusual. Most have no more than one or 2 letters on the underside, if anything. They used a lot of flowers in art deco design in the first half of the 1920's, so that is where the design comes from, such as yours. Cowan pottery made more than a few flower frogs with a women theme, and I have had their "Pavlova" design which are one of the more common ones they made. I have had more than a half dozen of the german ones where they had women, usually in deco stance and with an outstretched long scarf, and they also made some with cherubs as in the candle holder variety.
Thank you for the love PhilDMorris and the info!!
And, thanks for the love charmsomeone!
