About the Item

A beautiful whimsical ceramic of two monkeys by the renown Austrian Secessionist Wiener Kunst Keramik. It features glass eyes. It can be lit from the interior and there is a hole in the back for a cord that was intentional left in the creation of the piece. I’m not sure who the individual artist was who decorated the piece but is is monogrammed HB. The piece is in good condition with some craquelure to the glaze and some glaze flaws, particularly to two ears of the monkeys, pictured.
