Black glazed vintage anthropomorphic ceramic, 1960

Anthropomorphic ceramic featuring a woman's face with a headdress. Black enamel with metallic lustre. French work from the 60's signed Vism in hollow under the base (see pictures and zoom). Nice condition. Very rare and very discreet traces of use. Formerly used as an ashtray, this ceramic has a pestle with traces of common use at the points of contact (see photos and zoom). Concerning the face only, note the very slight wounds on the left cheekbone and a tiny jump of enamel at the bottom on the reverse side (see photos and zoom). The drumstick is 9 cm long. The total height of the face alone is 11 cm and the maximum length from the end of the cap to the end of the mention is 13 cm.
