Head vases were popular in the 1930's and 40's.  I have one from my Grandmother that I remember seeing in her home.

They are highly collectible.  This pretty lady is numbered 2145, signed "Kaye" on the bottom, and measures 7.5" tall.  I think she looks a bit like Joan Crawford!

Kaye of Hollywood ceramic studio was founded in the early 1940's by Katherine (Kay) Schueftan.  Her studio created hand-decorated figurines and figure vases.

This rather scarse figure vase, or wall pocket vase, will be a wonderful addition to any fine collection.
