Very Vintage Pierrot Pin Cushion with three Pins

Collectibles : Vanity Items

 

White ceramic Pierrot in a tub. Colorful detailing was kiln fired, not painted. The very tip of the hat missed a bit of glaze during the process. No chips or cracks. The pin cushion is red wool over tiny pieces of shredded wood ( sawdust ) or cork bits. The old wool is tattered and you can see the filling. The back side of the tub shows a yellow/beige discoloration. Looks like it sat too close to a heat source. Measures 3 1/2" across x 3" tall. Although this is not a new piece, I don't believe it to be an authentic Art Deco piece. Relying on the cushion area, I'm circa dating this piece to 1950. Included are two hat pins, one is black wood, the other red plastic and one stick pin of faux Turquoise.
