RARE PORCELAIN FIGURAL INDIAN HEAD MINI LAMP. This is an unlisted form but it’s a well-known fact that one of the rarest and more desirable (if not most desirable) mini lamps of all is the satin Indian chief bust mini lamp–only a few of those are known to exist. While this is not the extraordinarily rare satin variation, it is indeed rare and the subject matter is most appealing. It consists of a bust of an Indian (perhaps originally from San Francisco, note the flowers in his hair), decorated in shades of tan, black, pink and light green. On the underside are incised the numbers “4234”. It is fitted with a foreign burner. SIZE: 4-1/2” to top of collar. CONDITION: Very good to excellent. 5-62610 (1,500-2,500)
