Wonderful vintage and rare figure made by Josef Originals   

CAROLINE from the "1850 Ante-Bellum Girls" series which is not commonly found for sale

The series is shown on page 84 of "Josef Originals - 2nd Edition" by Harris & Whitaker

She measures approximately 7" tall

Great handpainting - with black eyes, lashes and red heart-shaped mouth   

Wearing an elaborate pale purple gown with ruffled trim and bell sleeves, she carries a blue hat box by its golden ribbons

Her matching bonnet with prominent white bow, is adorned with seven attached dark pink roses and leaves

With partial name label on front - CAROLINE in letters can still be read - and the large oval black and silver Josef Originals label on the side

One of the most beautiful Josef figurines I have ever seen

She is in virtually perfect condition - I examined very carefully to ensure there is no damage or restoration whatsoever; all the flower petals and other vulnerable parts are completely intact

No paint loss noted and no crazing lines noted

Marked as shown in photo, with impressed Josef Originals mark and Japan foil label on base

Please ignore all white spots on all photos caused by camera flash

This great vintage piece would make a wonderful addition to your Josef collection or a most treasured gift for someone special
