Good grief. Sorry, not a fan. There are people who search for, collect and appreciate these porcelain and ceramic carousel figurines. Some are quite rare and valuable. Painting over them in these garish, bright colors with no regard to detail or artistry just cheapens them and makes them look like plastic junk fit only for a child’s room. These aren’t toys, why make them look like they are?
