A bit of French cheek [chic...geddit?].

A vintage mug with a design which tells a risque "joke" based on roadsigns and anatomy.
In opaline or milk glass, it's a standard mug otherwise. The transfer "design" is repeated on two sides of the mug, which measures 8cm (just over 3 in.) tall with a similar rim diameter. The mug is in very good condition: no chips or cracks or no significant signs of use.

Almost certainly made by Kay Bojesen, this vintage Danish figure with wooden teak body and long articulated arms and fur hair is often referred to as a caveman. Caveman, gorilla, ape... who knows, but what is certain is that this smiling figure - who can either hang from his hands or can stand in position - has quirkiness in abundance. with painted noise, eyes and mouth and oversized hands and feet.

The figure measures 18cm (7 in.) approximately in length from head to toe and 28cm (11 in.) in span from hand to hand with arms outstretched. It will hang from a nail or hook, or from a shelf, or can free stand with a little persuasion. He's in good condition considering his age, just suffering from some slight fuzzying of his fur around the eyes, some gaps to the fur around his legs, and some wear to the painted surfaces.

In the style of Kay Bojesen, this vintage Danish inspired hanging figure with wooden body, long hooked arms and fur hair invariably causes a smile on the face of those who see it as broad as its own smile. In good vintage condition - with some minor wear and tear to the paintwork and most likely re-strung at some point - it's a slice of kitsch decor which has great appeal to this day.

The figure measures 18cm (7 in.) approximately in length from head to toe and 25cm (10 in.) in span from hand to hand with arms outstretched. It will hang from a nail or hook, or from a shelf.
