Half Scalded Antique Carved and Painted Duck figure on mound they are in good shape

they are in good shape and show well

all I can really make out is the name Nancy

All stable and sound and more beautiful in person

which I think make it feel all the more true Art Nouveau

Half Scalded Antique Carved and Painted Duck figure on mound they are in good shapeI found this small carved duck in Pennsylvania, and it appears to be quite an old one, in original white paint. Somewhere along with way endured a fire, resulting in a dramatically charred flip side. A bit tragic perhaps, for what a beautifully carved little duck, which appears to have been signed on the underside (now very faint), but I love the sort of dual natured drama of it as a result. 3 7 8" l x 1 5 8" w x 1 7 8" t. Very blackened on one side
