Description: AVERAGE SELLING PRICE: $14.29 MY ORIGINAL ASKING PRICE: $14.00 Piano babies were a Victorian-era fad. They were available in sizes from 4” to 18” tall. Since pianos were the focal point in Victorian parlors, the whimsical bisque babies were designed to sit on top of the ubiquitous pianos to anchor piano scarves. Many were made in Germany, and two of the leading manufacturers were Gebruder Heubach & Carl Schneider. Piano babies remained popular up until the First World War. Nevertheless, Japan started manufacturing reproductions in the 1950s, and they enjoyed a resurgence amongst collectors in the 1980/90s. Most piano babies were made from bisque, which has a matt surface, and is also known as “biscuit porcelain.” This vintage Sailor Boy Piano Baby figurine is a charming addition to any collection. Made of bisque porcelain and produced by Norleans in Taiwan, this piece features intricate details and a timeless design. Perfect for boys' department, this figurine is a great gift for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The country/region of manufacture is Taiwan, which adds to its uniqueness. It is a great piece to display on a shelf or mantelpiece, and it is sure to be a conversation starter.
