Description
fantastic scarce late 19th. century advertising figurine for Pear’s Soap depicting Bubbles blowing his clay pipe after the famous painting by Sir John Everett Millais bought by Pear’s Soap in 1886 for use in advertising. Pear’s Soap spent an estimated £30,ooo.00!! on the Bubbles advertising campaign, a fortune by today’s standards but created one of the most instantly reconizable advertising symbols. The figure is made of bisque pottery and stands approx 5 1/2 inches tall. looks like pipe has been repaired
