Terracotta Caribbean lady face wall plaque with pottery mark saying 'something... PORT':- First of all she is much prettier in person! The clay is lighter and rosier. She has some smudges on her face but I’m afraid to try to clean them. She is a wall plaque and she measures about 7” X 3”. I bought her several years ago from a friend because I liked her. I have tried to make out the stamp but I just can’t figure it out. The last four letters look like PORT but the first ones are a total blur. The numbers however are sharp and clear, but that doesn’t help me. I would love to know the artist, era and country. I’m thinking Vienna or West Germany in the 1930s, but maybe that is wishful thinking.
