For sale is a rare miniature basalt bust of Shakespeare made in England by an unknown maker in the 18th century. It has very good detail and is a bit different from the usual white porcelain or brown stoneware one sees much more often. I don\'t know who made it but it was one of the smaller makers not Wedgwood, Turner or even Neale . The bust has a lot of detail and was definitely handmade or at least touched up by hand after the molding process. It is in perfect condition with some manufacturing flaws in the form of small firing cracks. Something is rattling around on the inside. Sadly the piece is unmarked and thus hard to perfectly attribute. It is 5.75 inches tall, 3.25 inches wide and 2.5 inches deep. If you like my goodies have a look at my other sales for a lot more top maker pieces like Bow , Worcester and so on. Returns accepted if item is not as described.
