I’m not personally interested in these type of California pottery figurines from the 40s and 50s, but I know there are a ton of collectors of them out there. In fact, I might have picked this example from Yona Ceramics anyhow because I rarely see them at the thrift at such a reasonable price ($2). But it turns out this entire figurine had been cracked completely in half and then re-glued back together, so I just took a picture for the gallery.

The figure reminds me a lot of Florence Ceramics, Betty Lou Nichols and Hedi Schoop figurines. This is the third or fourth time I’ve seen a piece from Yona and passed on it at the thrift - although usually, I tend to see the dishes as opposed to figurines.
