Green Matador Ceramic Little Statue
« on: July 25, 2013, 09:44:15 pm »
Good evening all. Got a green matador ceramic statue thingy here. Measures to be about 15 1/4" tall. I couldn't find any markings on it; made in? made by?, etc. Could you possibly tell me where this might have been originated? And the worth of this piece? Thank you so very much!! :D

I can remember Spanish style and matadors were popular during the 70's!

Spot on KC !!  Don`t guess you got the bull too ??  They usually got the horns broke !!  Red was the most common color !!

Mart, you are so right on that.  I can remember seeing one-horned bulls in garage sales for years!
