This German crown top depicts the Welsh folk heroine, Jenny Jones of Talyllyn. Jenny, traveled around the battlefields of Europe with her husband, Lewis Griffiths of the Royal Welsh Fusilliers.

She is seen here in her elder years in traditional Welsh costume. This was probably a souvenier piece from Wales or England.

SILVER OVERLAY GERMAN CROWN TOP c. Pre 1939

PRAYER LADY BOLDOOT CROWN TOP c. Pre 1939
Prior to 1939, the Boldoot Perfume Company in the Netherlands sold a number of interesting porcelain containers filled with their perfumes. At this time, I cannot document whether the containers they used were manufactured in Germany or in a porcelain producing region of Holland. This crown top is a Dutch lady in regional dress carrying her bible. Among crown top collectors, she is know as the "Prayer Lady." She is dressed in a black and red long dress and black apron with white shawl and underblouse. Her head is covered with a white, fitted cap. The piece has an unusual glazed and bisque finish. The Prayer Lady has a companion, the Prayer Man, listed separately - see my other listing P1913.

COLORFUL STORK GERMAN CROWN TOP c. Pre 1939
The association of storks bringing babies originated in northern Europe. The big birds return to Europe from their migration to Africa nine months after Midsummer's Day - a celebration of fertility and prosperity. The bird's were encouraged to nest on the roofs of houses and were considered good luck. And so we have the legend of storks dropping babies down chimneys! This stork is quite colorful with his yellow body, green back and wings, and his bright orange beak and long legs.
Size: 3" Condition: There is a hairline crack that runs across and down the pedestal to the flowers at the base of the bottle. It is very stable and is difficult to see. This bottle displays very well. See pictures. Replacement crown stopper.
