Abstract: The present invention concerns a figurine with a picture image for a face, and in particular, to a ceramic figurine and process for producing a ceramic figurine which has a transferred photograph image for a face. Difficulties associated with dye sublimating a photographic or other image onto a three dimensional figure can be overcome by utilizing a substantially three-dimensional representative head having a planar facial region. By utilizing a flat/planar facial region a standard flat heat press system may be utilized to sublimate an image into the coating of a ceramic figure. The resulting image is unexpectedly clear and lifelike with a smooth appearance and no sharp edges.
