Continuing our exploration of the mystery match or toothpick holders adorned with lissome long-legged lasses, I am reintroducing Ms. #440, who appeared earlier on this blog. Like her sisters, she wears long black stockings and heeled pumps and has her full tresses twisted into a topknot. Her gown, however, is white, not pale yellow, and lacks the raised designs (but is certainly every bit as revealing!). She sits on a stool next to a basket of precolored green bisque. This
4.75 inch tall figurine is finely modeled in sharp bisque, is incised on back "5516," and has a freehand "14" painted in black under the basket.
