Description
Whimsical, glossy and full of mid-century charm, this Lucia Ware pixie figurine is a delightful example of the South African manufacturer's decorative novelty range, the characterful modelling and bright glaze giving it an immediate, playful appeal that is hard to resist.
Produced by Lucia Ware, one of South Africa's most recognisable mid-century ceramic manufacturers, this pixie figurine is modelled in a seated or crouching pose with a glossy glaze finish. Lucia Ware produced a wide range of decorative domestic ceramics throughout the 20th century, and their novelty figurines are among the most collectible and characterful items from the manufacturer's output. Pixie and gnome figurines from South African manufacturers are increasingly sought after by collectors of mid-century decorative ceramics, and Lucia Ware examples are particularly desirable. This example is in visible condition as shown in the images.
A charming and collectible piece for collectors of South African ceramics. Pairs naturally with the Lucia Ware green deer figurine (SKU-00295) and the wider South African Ceramics collection.
