In a hat that barely fits his head, and with cheeks and a belly that are plump and round, this figural decanter looks like he's the jolliest of bar room companions.
Believed to be a Birdwatcher, he has binoculars around his neck, an umbrella behind his back and a blanket over his shoulder.
I've seen a limited variety of the figural decanters by themselves, and a couple even with a tray and/or a few cups, but rarely a complete set in undamaged condition.
Measuring 10" high with a set of six little (1-7/8") cups on a matching tray, this German set is in very good condition with very little paint loss. If I had to guess, I'd say that this was used only for display and that the cork is original.
As this set dates to c1940, it shows some character-adding crazing commensurate with age. There is one small glaze pop on his right hand.Tray measures 9" x 4-1/4". Note how all those cups fit perfectly in the lozenge-type ends of the tray.
Marked L & I Block, Germany.
