Flemish Pottery Lacemaker with commercial marks

6-1/4" high, 5" long, 3" wide

Unknown maker. There is a circular 'Made in Belgium' mark at the back under the lower rung of the chair, and the number 1008 inscribed on the base. A pencil mark 'Keyworth' is written inside the base. This is probably not the name of the pottery, but of an owner, or a retailer.

It's a smaller, OK piece, perhaps a bit more in the mass production mode than others. The blue skirt doesn't seem to go anywhere in the design, curious.

Some damage to the nose and left hand, otherwise intact.
