3 BROTHER JUNIPER COASTERS From a comic series comes Brother Juniper in all his sedate humor! Three small plates or coasters, each one is done with black writing and characters on a white porcelain plate. The first one shows Brother Juniper on the floor of a grocery store at the checkout counter, with the saying, I’ll be alright in a minute, high prices always make me dizzy! (Now that’s one we all can relate to). The second one shows Brother Juniper as he just hit his thumb with a hammer while tacking up a sign which reads, Silence is Golden. The third one shows Brother Juniper standing outside near a broken window which boys throwing rocks, and he says, I keep telling myself there’s no such thing as a bad boy (two of the black letters have been washed away, but you still get the message). They are all signed by the artist, Fr. Mac. Each coaster is back stamped, Publishers Syndicate, 1960, Brother Juniper by The Shattord Co. and measure 4 1/8 in. dia.
Circa: 1960
Manufacturer: The Shattord Co.  

LA PIETA FIGURINE A very heavy nice sized figurine known as La Pieta. Done in what appears to be plaster, this figurine is signed but the name is very hard to read, as it has been worn. I can only figure out a few letters, AR, and possibly M before the AR and V or W after the AR and the copyright symbol. The bottom rear base of the figurine has damage, see photo, and price has been adjusted. The figurine measures 9 in. tall, and the base measures 4 ½ in. wide by 7 ¼ in. long. Shipping weight 4 lbs. 12 oz.
 

PRAYING NUN MUSIC BOX A serene looking nun, head bowed, eyes closed, and hands clasped in prayer music box. She is wearing a black habit with white trim and a pair of gold rosary beads around her neck. There is a black stamped M-188 on the bottom of the base. The nun is ceramic, her base is wood, and the pedestal is plastic. The overall height is 7 ¾ in. and 4 ½ in. dia. Shipping weight 2 ¼ lbs.
 

4 CERAMIC CHOIR BOYS Four angelic looking choir boys in white and cranberry, blond hair and great facial features. One is standing, holding a song book while he is singing; one is kneeling down in prayer; one is kneeling, head bowed, holding a crucifix; one is standing and holding a candle. This is just a beautiful set. The choir boys measure 4 in. and 5 ½ in. high and are bottom stamped in red ink, Japan.

ST. THERESE FIGURINE A beautiful figurine of whom I believe to be St. Therese. She is holding a jar, in which a dove of peace on a short metal rod is resting. Also she has a metal halo on the back of her head, which also is on two short metal rods, so both the dove and halo can be removed. She is standing on an imitation marbleized base. The figurine measures 13 in. tall, and the base measures 3 ½ in. by 3 ¾ in. Since the bird just is sitting on the jar, he had fallen a few times, and part of his rear tail is missing, and a bit of damage to the top of his head. She has a few missing flakes, but overall this still is a great figurine. The bottom insert is wood, however, I can’t tell what the figurine is made of, possibly a thin layer of chalk or plaster over lightweight wood, or a composition material. The only markings are on the rear of the base and are, 0 1 0. Shipping weight 2 ½ lbs.
 

ST. FRANCIS PLANTER A great figurine of whom I believe to be St. Francis in front of a planter. He is wearing monk’s robes and holding a white dove with another white dove at his feet. He was used to hold plants, so the inside of the planter has a water edge stain. There is an old hole on the top of his head, possibly at one time he might have had a halo. The figurine measures 8 ½ in. tall, and the base measures 2 ½ in. by 3 ¼ in. Shipping weight 1 ¾ lbs.
 

METAL CATHOLIC CRUCIFIX, ITALY A silver tone metal Roman Catholic crucifix, with a figure of Jesus attached to the cross. The back of the cross is incised, "Italy". There is a hole going through the top portion of the cross, so it can be attached to a chain. The cross measures 2 in. long by 1 ¼ in. wide.
Size: 2 in. long by 1 ¼ in. wide.

HUMMEL MADONNA WITH HALO A simply beautiful figurine of Madonna with a Halo, signed on the back base, M. I. Hummel. The figurine is done in soft shades of blue and peach, nicely done facial features, and measures 12 in. high. The figurine is bottom stamped with a Stylized bee inside the V and Western Germany on the side, as well as being incised, 45/1, ca. probably 1960-1972. The bottom front of the base has a 1 ¼ in. long chip, mostly from underneath, but gives the appearance of a ragged finish to part of the front base. However, when standing, the base damage is hardly noticeable. Price has been adjusted accordingly. Shipping weight 1 ½ lbs.
