. . . about this lovely lass and her lunar lover. Of excellent sharp bisque and 4.5 inches tall, this cosmic couple is from the factory of Schafer and Vater and is part of a very scarce series of beautiful belles literally on their "honey moons." The base is open in the back to form a small vase, perhaps to hold toothpicks or matches. Figurines from this series are found in both precolored and tinted bisque (if they are found at all!), but to my taste, the tinted bisque best brings out the details of this delightful design. As it so typical of Schafer's giddy girls, she is clad only in a close-fitting chemise that clings to her curves, black stockings, and orange heeled pumps (and from the grin on his crescent face, the man in the moon does not seem to mind!). Underneath, the figurine is incised with the Schafer starburst mark and the number "4260."
