FAKE.

How do I know?

Look at the crazing.  It is way too uniform. The dead giveaway however 
is the paint on the face and scarf.  Just about every mammy out there 
is missing paint in some way or another.  This is not usual wear that 
caused this in most cases.  It has more to do with the fact that that 
paint was applied after the jar was glazed.  You note this jar is 
crazed to death, but the face and scarf is not.  It stands to reason 
that if the glazing crazes underneath the paint, paint will chip.

This is a FAKE.  Do not buy.

Private sellers ALWAYS have something to hide.  Only buy from a seller 
that lists their email address and other contact info, and allows you 
to see their feed back.

Gee I wonder who this one is? :-)
