Ideal for display or use as a functional doorstop, this piece is perfect for any home decor. Its unique design and historical significance make it a great addition to any collection. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this beautiful piece of American history. Anne Harriet Fish (Sefton - Married name) was born in Bristol, England. She worked in oil & watercolors. After coning to New York City, she did illustrations for "Vanity Fair" and "Vogue" including the cover for "Vanity Fair" in April, 1917. During World War I, "Porcelain Doll Heads" were unattainable from Germany. So, Fulper, a Flemington, NJ company, established a new product line: "Porcelain Doll Heads". Fulper was established in 1909 and made stoneware clay pottery. However, after the War, the market for Porcelain Doll Heads collapsed and Fulper had to resort to "ceramic novelties" made from porcelain. They hired Anne Harriet Fish (Sefton) to do some design work for them in the 1920's. Her drawings sell in the low hundreds of dollar now. Note in one of her drawings shown here: There is a strong similarity with this drawing and her "BATHING GIRLS" Doorstop she designed for Hubley. She designed Seven Doorstops for Hubley: # 269 - The TIGER - The MESSENGER BOY # 268 - The PALOR MAID - BATHING GIRLS # 270 - CHARLESTON DANCERS # 222 - SMALL FOOTMEN # 248 - LARGE FOOTMEN Her doorstops were always numbered on the back and had a copyright mark followed with her name, "FISH", on the front base in the black paint. Probably because of her experience in Ceramics, all her doostops had a high gloss to them. On a lot of her existing doorstops, this finish has woren off.
