Ms. #379 is a pretty mermaid with flowing tresses. Mermaids might be called the original bathing beauties. Of good china with nice decoration, this piece is 4 inches tall and 4.5 inches long. Her finny friend is finished with a pearl-like luster. This mermaid has a split tail, with legs extending to her knees and finned feet, an early traditional way of portraying these sea sirens. This piece is incised “5324 Germany” on the back right side of the fish.
