Hi Mark:
Thanks for the info and posting the photo of your bronze bust. I am not sure mine has been repainted over the bronze if that is what you meant. Please see the photo of the bottom of my bust. I would assume that if it had been painted over the bronze the bottom would not have been painted, and the bottom looks original to me. Does the bottom of your bust look like mine? Hope to see you in Cleveland this summer. Best, Fred Quote:

That definitely sheds a new light on it, Fred. It looks like that is original ceramic indeed. So I would speculate the answer is one of two things....
Perhaps the same mold was used for both a ceramic and a bronze version of this Bust. Maybe they were sold both ways, and the customer could simply choose his preference. It's also possible that a later cast was made from the original Bronze, and that a ceramic version was subsequently created from that cast. A pretty common practice, recreating figural pieces. I think the first scenario is the far more likely of the two. But either way, I no longer feel that your version is a repainted bronze. Perhaps someone else here has more info. |
