Antique bisque Asian male figure nodder. 2 inches tall by 1 inch width, wire loop in back, please view photos. No maker\'s mark. Please view photos.
I\'ll bet you didn\'t know that contemporary bobblehead dolls derive from ancient Asian temple tradition where the earliest nodding figures originated for use in temple rites! Driven by a fascination with Asian art during the global porcelain trade, European makers, including French and German manufacturers, began creating unglazed bisque nodders featuring Asian-inspired motifs during the early part of the 19th century.
The dating for this particular piece could be anywhere between 1880 up through 1925, when unglazed bisque nodders came with little wire loops in the back to turn into ornaments.
