French bisque "Paris Bebe" by Danel & Cie. Circa 1890. Anatole Danel had been an employee at the Jumeau firm until resigning and forming his own firm which specialized in a bebe that was a near copy of the Jumeau. Jumeau sued and won, limiting the production of Danel & Cie bebes to only two years,and resulting in their rarity today.

Condition: generally excellent.

Marks: Paris-Bebe Tete Depose 7 (red stamp) 7 (incised).

Emile Jumeau, his trademarked model "Paris Bebe" with distinctive facial modeling, circa 1892.
Very fine modeling, quality of bisque and painting of the rare model, original body and body finish, wearing superb original dress with blue BEBE brooch, bonnet, undergarment, antique socks and vintage leather shoes.
