Vintage Gilner Pixieware Elf

This mischievous little pixie is ready to charm his way into your heart - just look at those sweet dimples.   He makes me wonder what he's been up to besides exercising!



















Manufactured by the Gilner Pottery Company, Culver City California, he was part of the Pixieware line of male elves called "Happy People".  (Female elves were from the "Merry Maid" line).  Beryl Gilner took advantage of the "craze" for pixies and produced this line from 1942 until 1958 when the plant burnt down.



















This mid century fellow is in outstanding condition without chips, cracks or repairs, and sits 2 5/8" tall by 3 1/4 wide. The carefully painted features on his unglazed face remain bright and vivid.

Asking - $18
