Any one know anything about this pIs e

This is made by A.Carrier Alexander Backer it's 28inches tall with no cracks. I see some work Backer did but does anyone know anything? I'm new here so if I'm doing this wrong please let me know.

 

looks like a molded work.

 

Hi Bunkie, welcome to this nice place!

Is your statue chalkware?

 

Plaster,circa 50s-60s. Every one of my Cuban relatives had these.

 

Yes

 

Thank you, j couldn't find anything

 

On it. Sorry! I tried posting that on my phone and it Replys too easy.

 

Welcome Bunkie

 

Phones, gotta love em except when you hate em. I did find this auction which gives some information on the artist Albert Carrier who it would seem made the original statue. I think Backer made copies of famous pieces for resale (I think).

Here is also a link to an interesting law suit Backer was involved in.

It clearly dates from a period when it was fashionable to give skimpily dressed women enormous jugs.
