Virgin bust with halo, glazed ceramic, vintage/antique craftsmanship.

Rare, very beautiful small bust of the haloed Virgin in handcrafted ceramic, glazed, vintage/antique from the 1930s-40s. Art Deco style, engraved under the base "France, " reminiscent of the style of Turin productions from the same period. White ceramic, cream glaze, large halo and golden veil. Soft face, closed eyes, small nose and mouth, fine eyebrows. In good condition, patinated gilding, faded reliefs, a few chips (3 at the bottom left on the veil, 1 at the top back of the halo, 1 at the bottom left at the back, a few discreet ones on the edge of the halo at the front, 1 at the bottom left, a few small ones at the top, and a few others on the right). Overall discreet, does not detract from the object.
