Extremely Rare Signed Dorthy Kindell Towel Holder
This was very Risqué for circa 1940-50’s
This is a “pin up girl” type of art or
“Nudies Cuties” they call it made from the artist Dorthy Kindell in the 40s threw the 50’s
This is a extremely rare , I will tell why it’s rare , 1st off it is signed by Dorthy Kindell as all her work is signed …..
This type (the towel holder) piece aka (The Naked Hawaiian Girl) is extremely rare , bc they broke when people bought and used them for towel holders and hung them on the wall as they were thought to be intended for . They weren’t considered art yet , only the people that saw the true artistic value kept them safe ….very few of these lasted ….
Dorthy Kindell was the 1st to do this kind of risqué art and only for a short time in California as she died very young at 52 yrs: 1909-1961
She had a shop that she opened and made her pottery out of , fired & glazed it herself and then sold out of for a short time in California and there is only handful of these Towel holders left …
I’m sure of that bc I am an avid collector of Kindell ,This only the 2nd one I had chance to purchase in the last 10 years
Her pottery is very very collectible and sought after, and has gone up in value tremendously over the years and will continue do so as her pottery has became extremely rare and very popular , and hard to find yet buy ….
I have sale reports and other sales reports I can show you and I will post a link for you to read about Dorthy Kindell at the bottom …
Just remember Kindell signed her work with Copywrite on her work with C and circled c , either 1 c or 2 C’s …for copywriting reasons with her signature under the glaze like this one I am selling to you Dorthy signed in either cursive or printed , I examples of both if you need them , otherwise her work is very difficult authenticated like this Dorthy Kindell piece , this is one of the best looking Hawaiian woman towel rack piece I have ever seen,
This is the only signed authentic Dorthy Kindell Towel holder on the internet I can find or seen in a very very long time bc as I said they broke easily when hung in the wall , they are just not around anymore , this one is beautiful…and will be a conversation piece when you read the link below about Dorthy Kindell and her art career and who also buys her pieces .
Don’t miss out …….
