Norman Rockwell 'Leapfrog' Porcelain Figurine
This is a hand-painted porcelain figurine inspired by the iconic Americana artwork of Norman Rockwell, specifically his 'Leapfrog' illustration. The piece features two young boys engaged in the classic game; the top figure wears a wide-brimmed brown hat, a white collared shirt, and red suspenders over grey trousers. The second child is tucked beneath, wearing a red shirt and brown pants. A small white dog stands at the base, looking up at the boys. The arrangement is set upon a rectangular, lime-green grassy base that prominently features the name 'Norman Rockwell' in black script on the front edge. Crafted from bisque or matte-finished ceramic, the colors are rendered in muted earth tones—brown, tan, and soft red—typical of Mid-Century collectible aesthetics. The piece stands approximately 5 to 6 inches tall. Regarding the condition, there is a visible dark chip or loss of paint on the left side of the upper boy's hat brim. There also appears to be surface dust and minor grime accumulation in the crevices, particularly on the white shirt. Such figurines were widely produced during the late 20th century (circa 1970s-1980s) by various licensed entities like Goebel or The Danbury Mint. The craftsmanship shows standard mass-produced quality with molded details and hand-applied color zones that lack fine graduation but maintain the whimsical character of the original source material.
