Holland Molds, vintage, wahine

Distinguishing

I have the mold for this pin-up figure plus two separate porcelain figures cast from it like the one pictured.
|
|
I acquired the actual 3-part plaster mold to make this figure. Figures measure 3.5 inches long by 2.25 inches high. This example is of a porcelain slip-cast piece poured from this mold. Two of these fired pieces came along with the mold. These are a smaller version of the same figure I've seen used before which measure 4.5" X 6.25".

This is an ashtray featuring a topless wahine with a wrap around her lower torso and her leg extended. These ashtrays come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and glazes, but feature the same topless wahine from a hobbyist Holland mold. The same molded wahine has also been used by ceramicists to ornament mugs and bowls. There is also a second Holland mold of a kneeling nude wahine used in the same fashion.
