Large Japanese Geisha Woman Chalkware Sculpture possible by Bertha Lum

This lovely sculpture was possible made by Bertha Lum. If you can find a piece in amazing condition, then buy it because these true vintage Lum pieces are fading fast.

This is an original, true vintage sculpture in absolutely immaculate condition. It stands 10.75" high and 5" wide. The block stand is 3.5 by3.5 and weighs 3 lbs. . The only condition issue is a very small, very minor paint flake on the back above the maker's mark which is easily seen in the photos. The paint is beautiful.

Bertha Lum, an American artist active from the 1900's through the 1930's, made a significant contribution to the Japanese movement with her woodblock prints and paintings. Lum's prints combine sinuous Art-Nouveau curves with flat planes of color that harken back to 19th century ukiyo-e. The subject of her work ranges from children to landscapes to mysterious figures from Asian folklore and legend. Perhaps because she was a foreigner and could only experience Asian life on the outside,
