VTG I Favori Distillery Greece I Greek Soldier Evzonas Ceramic Figurine

Here is a ceramic figurine of a Greek Evzonas, an elite Greek solider, dressed in the traditional Tsolias (male costume), issued by the old Favori distillery of Athens. It's in excellent condition, with just some base wear (see photo 7). This figurine originally came in its own box that read "EVZONAS" at the bottom (you can find an example of this on Worthpoint). The base says "OYZO" which is another spelling for Ouzo (Favori also had a Zeus figure/bottle spelled "ZEYS") as the Greek letter Y/υ/upsilon's English equivalent is "u." *Note, this is NOT a bottle, just a figurine.
