Vintage Ceramic Gnome Figure. Measures 7 1/2" in height. Very good condition, has some scrapes. Appears to be hand painted. You can likely repaint him.
Add a touch of whimsical folklore to your home or garden with this charming 7 1/2-inch vintage ceramic gnome figurine. This piece depicts a classic bearded gnome in a seated position, traditionally dressed in a vibrant red hat and matching tunic. He appears to be industriously at work, holding a bowl of grain, and features delightful hand-painted details like his tiny spectacles and bushy white eyebrows.
The textured finish of the ceramic gives this fellow a rustic, artisanal feel that is perfect for cottagecore decor, fairy gardens, or as a nostalgic addition to a kitchen shelf. Because he is hand-painted, he possesses a unique character that mass-produced modern figures often lack. While he remains in very good condition, he does show some honest signs of age with a few scrapes to the paint. These areas provide a wonderful opportunity for a quick touch-up to restore his original luster, or they can be left as-is to preserve his authentic aged aesthetic.
This item is vintage, over 20 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
