A while ago, the Antique Trader had a great article on Bawdy Bisques and Naughty Novelties -- the darling little figurines of mermaids and bathing beauties.
You might remember that I wrote about my small collection of them, so of course I loved the article. These are some pix from the Antique Trader's article.
I am looking forward to reading the new book about these little gems by Sharon Hope Weintraub, titled:
Bawdy Bisques and Naughty Novelties: German Bathing Beauties and Their Risqué Kin
Check out her wonderful website. Her collection puts my little grouping to shame -- I hope I find some more soon!
Here is the link to see some Bisque Mermaids on ebay now.
Wish I could find one of these adorable merman on a fish (it sold for $155.00 on ebay).

My name is Marianne, and I am a collecting addict! And I don't want to be cured. I love everything about antiquing, collecting, and selling. I'm a born-and-raised California Girl, which changed when, after visiting hubby's family back here in Ohio, we got hooked on antiques.
