Antique Folk Art Stoneware Or Pottery 6 Dancing people

[susiecat]

I got this strange piece out of a storage auction.Look like stoneware or pottery.Loojk like 6 people dancing.Look like there was once some type of name on the bottom.Anyone have an idea what this item is or maker.

Bottom is hand written so not likely a factory mark !!  Probably an owners name !!   I would guess early 1900`s !!

Thanks Mart! just wondering if it's Mexican or some other country

[mart]

Looking at the little Mary Jane shoes,,I would not guess Mexico !!

Is it women on a shopping spree?  Looks like some are carrying bags and all are fighting the wind (or they are tipsy!)

[susiecat]

lol not sure KC,this item came out of a storage auction.Some items I buy to resell,some I keep.I don't know  about some of the items I buy.So happy for this site

[susiecat]

Now that I'm looking at it again KC it does look like ladies coming from a market

[KC]

That's what I thought.  is this an artist rendition of "Shop Til You Drop"?  LOL 

The more I look at it the more I laugh!  I would think this would even be a popular item today if someone takes the time to peruse it!

Thought I saw a pig in there somewhere !!

[susiecat]

No pig Mart lolol!

[mart]

No 2 and three pics ??  Looks like a pig !!

[KC]

Oh my gosh Mart...now I see what you are talking about!  Looks like she is carrying a pig head!  LOLOL

Like the old song "To Market, To Market, To buy a fat pig.  Home again, Home again, Jiggidy Jig!"

[mart]

Could be a representation of that verse !!  Havent thought about that one in years !!

[KC]

I got pretty miffed with you yesterday Mart.  After I saw that pig head and thought of that kid's song I couldn't get it out of my head - drove me crazy!  LOL
