Marvin Bailey 23" Folk Art Woman with Fruit Basket on Head DP6589

This colorful ceramic figure by SC folk potter Marvin Bailey depicts a lively woman balancing a basket of fruit atop her head. Her wide eyes, bright red lips, prominent teeth, and spiky black hair give her the animated personality characteristic of Bailey's figural work. A turquoise basket filled with brightly colored fruit adds a playful finishing touch.

The woman's hands rest confidently on her hips, while her long dress features a richly textured combination of golden orange and deep blue glazes. Slightly taller and more substantial than Bailey's usual female figures, this piece has an especially commanding presence. Its generous proportions, expressive character, and colorful details make it a standout example of contemporary Southern folk art pottery.

Measures 23.25" tall, about 8.25" wide, and has a 6" base.
