"Betaubender Duft" -- dazing(?) scent. "Beim Aufsstehen" -- when awakening. "Nadelkissen" -- pincushion. "Perlenkled" -- beaded dress. "Rittlings" -- astride. "Schmetterling"-- butterfly "Sonneblum" -- sunflower. "Sekt" -- sparkling wine.
Reverse side.
This dainty nadelkissen (pincushion)
is one of the delightful items pictured on that postcard.
And here is the same lady in
the flesh (bisque?), sans cushion. In Bawdy Bisques and Naughty Novelties,
I included her in the chapter for Hertwig and Company (Illustration 06-006),
because she so closely resembles the beautifully sculpted precolored bisque
nudes by Hertwig. But we now know her true maker, and that Heubach also
produced finely detailed and realistically modeled female figurines in pale,
precolored bisque. She is 3" high and is incised "11043/2,"
matching the model number on the postcard.
Another Heubach sample, posing
with a perfume bottle. She looks as if she is splashing on some scent (I
am told that the German means "dazing scent.")
And here is the figurine as pictured
in Bawdy Bisques and Naughty Novelties (Illustration 06-011). Although
I also attributed her to Hertwig, she is actually from Heubach! 5"
high, she is stamped on her back in green with "Made in Germany"
in a circle.
This figurine appears as "Sonneblume"
on the postcard. Superbly molded in fine bisque, she is 6.5" tall without
the stand (which is not original) and is unmarked.
