A piano baby is a collector’s term. In about 1880, the well-decorated home had a shawl on the piano. Bisque figures of babies were designed to help hold the shawl in place. This is probably a toddler-age design piano baby with blonde hair, blue eyes, red open mouth, and visible teeth. It measures 5-1/2 inches tall and about 4-1/2 inches wide and about 5 inches front to back. It has no chips, cracks, or scratches that I can find. But there are some normal wear marks to high points and glaze from being displayed, stored and moved around over the last few decades, such as minor heel marks from being on hard surfaces (at least I guess that's it). This came from the estate of an elderly lady who loved to collect Victorian and Edwardian style items. The piece is numbered 23/112 on the bottom. It resembles many Andrea of Japan pieces that I've seen online which are from the mid 1950s. I do not feel it is German or antique since it has many characteristics of reproductions such as those made by Andrea. At any rate, it is an adorable vintage piano baby that would look great in your collection or make a nice gift for an expectant mother or grandmother. Bisque is unglazed porcelain; usually molded into shape then baked in high temperatures in a "kiln" to form figurines, doll heads and doll body parts. Painting is done by hand and quality varies by maker. This one has very good detail and appears to be good quality.
