I've added another lovely antique bisque sculpture to my collection, this time a bathing blonde beauty in the buff, lounging back on a rather heavy, marble slab. Likely from 1940's Japan, though clearly modeled after the popular bathing beauties produced in Germany some decades earlier, her warm face and cute, shapely figure contrast nicely against that cold slab of gold vein and green. The lack of detail in her feet / toes and breasts / nipples seems to run consistent with whoever made these, via the few other examples that I've found online. Still, a very nice piece.
