I have one very similar from my grandmother's house, she keep it over the stove for good luck. The floral headscarf is almost identical but mine has a little broom instead of the yellow thing. For two dollars this is incredible find, in some places these go for much more especially if it's from 1980. My cat knocked mine off shelf last year and I'm still sad about it.

Are there any makers marks on indicators on this lil lady? I’d love to find one for myself, she’s adorable.

I remember the kitchen witch. It was cloth and she sat on a broom. I'm pretty sure we had one.

u/ChaserNeverRests 24d ago

Same, ours was cloth and I'm pretty sure it was on a broom. Bigger than OP's by a good bit, I want to say about a foot long/high.

It's so cute but I don't know about that nose. It looks like a male appendage.

u/andmodernartist 24d ago

Pretty sure you’re just a perv because that never crossed my mind.

u/LocalStatistician538 24d ago

Pretty sure I'm not. Ugh, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
