Any thoughts on this little chap. He came from an antique fair and I was told he was dug up from a bottle dump , but I will never know for sure.

Threaded screw top and a rounded convexed base. Looks like he may have been only part of something larger as some remains of glue / cement to base. Or maybe he was meant to rock around on his base when tapped.

Height just over 2" or 5cm.

As to age I do not really have a clue, I would have thought Victorian but could be some what newer.

Thanks Roy

is he a chef with an apron on and a wooden spoon?  might he have been a container for some sort of Kitchen condiment sauce type thing?

I thought it might have been depicting a baby wearing a bib and holding a spoon  -  thus indicating some foodstuff for a very young person  -  really only guessing though.
Glass retrieved from dumps often shows some form of glass sickness, and surface wise this does look very clean.

his apron is tied at the back no?
Novelty condiment bottle I think maybe?

Thanks

I could not decide myself whether he was a baby or a chef, but I would agree some type of novelty food condiment.

Thanks again Roy

Perhaps he was attached to a pottery version of his bottom half? with the top bit being where the sauce went - in glass for hygiene purposes?
