Circa 1920–1950 Miniature Godin Stove – Ceramic Photophore by Bidan, Christ-Mick-Ain

This charming miniature ceramic stove is a rare decorative reproduction of a classic Godin cast iron heater, crafted in France between 1920 and 1950. Created by Bidan (Christ-Mick-Ain), it likely served as an advertising or promotional item, now repurposable as a stylish vintage photophore.

Molded in glazed ceramic with a two-tone olive green and deep black finish, the piece features intricate ornamental details: fluted base, paw feet, and a stylized door with pierced openings that allow light to filter through. When a tealight candle is placed inside, the warm glow radiates through the front panel, creating an atmospheric effect reminiscent of a real wood stove.

* Origin and period: France, circa 1920–1950
* Manufacturer: Bidan, Christ-Mick-Ain
* Materials: Glazed ceramic
* Dimensions: Height 16 cm (6.3 in), Width 10 cm (3.94 in), Depth 11 cm (4.33 in)
* Condition: Very good vintage condition; a small chip on the base, invisible when standing
* Markings: "Godin" in relief on the front, base marked “CREA – FABRI / MODÈLE DÉPOSÉ / BIDAN / CHRIST–MICK–AIN”
* Functionality: Can hold a tealight candle; works as a decorative photophore

A delightful collectible combining French industrial heritage with warm decorative appeal—ideal for vintage interiors, shelves, or candlelit ambiance.
