Vintage Ceramic Fawn Figurines

This collection consists of three vintage ceramic figurines depicting fawns, likely inspired by the Disney character Bambi. The central and largest figurine is a fawn in a recumbent or lying position, characterized by a light brown body with darker brown shading, particularly on the legs and around the face. It features dark black eyes with prominent white highlight dots, and black ears. White spots are painted on its back. The glaze appears glossy but shows some signs of wear, including potential discoloration or dirt accumulation, particularly noticeable on the face and around the eyes, suggesting a milky or yellowed hue. The construction is ceramic, possibly bisque fired and then glazed. The smaller figurine, also a fawn, is similarly colored and posed, with a slightly darker overall tone and less distinct features due to its size. It also has white spots on its back and black ears and hooves. The smallest fawn appears to be a baby deer. The third figurine, positioned to the right, clearly represents Bambi, identified by its distinctive facial features including expressive eyes, a small tuft of hair on its head, and lighter underparts with white spots on its back. This Bambi figure appears to have a more whimsical, animated style compared to the other two, with a pronounced white belly and tail. All figures exhibit a glossy finish, typical of ceramic figurines from the mid-20th century. Visible condition issues include general surface grime and possible paint loss on some areas, particularly the tips of the ears and hooves, although no significant chips or cracks are immediately apparent. The style suggests an age from the mid-century modern period, possibly 1950s-1970s, aligning with the introduction and popularity of Disney merchandise. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced ceramic decor items from that era, with hand-painted details.
