Wondering about the square in the hyacint block,the(watercarrier lady) must have a square base also? All the Orla figurines I see are round at the base.Someone else have a watercarrier lady with a square base?

Hi Hans

I have not seen a Water Carrier figurine with a rectangular base to date.
However I have a picture of what could be a Lucretia figurine that has the round base squeezed in on opposite sides.

I wonder if this is a fault or was it done this way so as to fit into the rectangular glass block-shaped water vase of the Hyacinth set.
