Rare Miniature French Faience FROG SECOUETTE SNUFF BOTTLE Malicorne n Quimper?

Description

Offering for your consideration a miniature French faience snuff bottle in the form of a little frog.
This unusual snuff bottle is a realistically painted mold of a wee frog. He has a great deal of personality for such a little fellow! I love his green sponged body with darker green spots and that wonderfully whimsical little face.
The piece measures 2" long and is in excellent antique condition.
It is unsigned, but has the dark, red base clay, which is indigenous to the Sarthe region of Malicorne. Most of the PBx pieces made by the Maison Pouplard-Beatrix were formed with this dark red clay. So I would attribute him to PBx Malicorne.
Please visit my other auctions this week of interesting Quimper snuff bottles and other handsome French faience finds. You may preview them in photos 5-9 above.
I shall gladly combine shipping on multiple purchases to save you postage costs.
Thank you for your visit to this miniature French Faience secouette frog, who is packed with personality.
PLEASE note that Quimper and Malicorne snuffs are featured on the opening page of the International Quimper Club's website at www.quimperclubinternational.com  The secouette forms are great favorites among French faience collectors.
