The front base bears mark "© Fish". About Anne Fish Anne Harriet Fish (1890–1964) was a renowned British illustrator known for her witty depictions of high society during the Art Deco period. Her illustrations graced the pages of Vanity Fair and The Tatler, offering a humorous and elegant perspective on the trends of her time. Fish’s partnership with the Hubley Manufacturing Company brought her distinctive designs into three-dimensional form, resulting in collectible doorstops and decorative items that continue to captivate collectors. About the Hubley Manufacturing Company Based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the Hubley Manufacturing Company was a leader in producing finely crafted cast-iron goods, including toys, doorstops, and other decorative objects. Founded in 1894, Hubley’s designs often reflected the artistic movements of the time, such as Art Deco. Each piece was hand-painted, ensuring unique details and exceptional quality. This rare "Charleston Dancers" doorstop is a vibrant representation of Anne Fish’s artistic vision and Hubley’s craftsmanship. The figural design, combined with its Art Deco charm and patina, makes it an outstanding addition to any collection of vintage or decorative cast-iron pieces.

1930's German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll
Located in Red Lion, PA
Stunning 1930s German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll with Rococo Hairstyle This exquisite 1930s German porcelain half doll captures the refined beauty and timeless glamour of the Art Deco period, paired with the romantic influence of 18th-century Rococo style. Rendered in fine porcelain with exceptional attention to detail, this rare figure is a striking example of German artistry at its peak. Her delicate features are simply enchanting — bright blue eyes accented by soft blue eyeshadow, rosy cheeks, and vivid red lips, all hand-painted with precision. Her ornate updo evokes the powdered wigs of the 1700s, gathered high with an elegant bow at the back and a tiny tiara perched at the front, nodding to both historic elegance and theatrical flair. What sets this figure apart is her graceful, outstretched arms, posed in a fluid and balletic gesture, capturing a moment of poised movement. It’s a pose both sculptural and expressive, and one rarely seen in typical half dolls. Her condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or signs of repair. Here delicately painted features remain vivid after nearly a century. German half dolls...
