He holds a basket in front of him and is hand painted in naturalistic Majolica colors in typical yellows, greens, blues, browns and natural skin tones. The base has stamped Minton marks to the rim along with date marks with the inner base decorated in typical Minton turquoise blue glazes. In good condition.
