Gorgeous Vintage Inarco Ceramic Young Girl Planter Pink Scalloped Dress popular White Gold Ruffled Petticoats Pink Roses Flowers Basket E-436A
Such a gorgeous planter I am offering you here! This young lady has all of the beautiful features of a lovely Josef Originals. The attention to detail is not lost with this piece. She is dressed in a wonderful full-skirted pink dress with a high collar and long sleeves. The pleated skirt extends high on each side and reaches to the back of the planter. There are large, five-petal darker pink flowers adorning the front of the skirt. Gold leaves are painted around them. Under the scalloped edge of the hemline, there are layers of white ruffles that are highlighted with gold spackles. The ruffles also extend around the back of the planter. The design was very well thought out, and flows very well. popular Just to one side of the back of the girl's waist, half of a large bow can be seen. She holds one hand stretched out slightly in front of her. She holds a tan wicker basket over the other arm. The basket is full of pink roses and green leaves. Her fingers have a very feminine form and nice detail. One tiny gold slipper can be seen right at the front of the dress, and the other slipper to the side, giving her the appearance of taking steps. The girl's blond hair is thick with curls, and is pinned up in the back. She wears one pink rose in the side of her hair. Her face is rich with color, with nicely blushed cheeks, big blue eyes with black outline, lashes and eyebrows, a tiny little nose, and a small red mouth. She is just lovely! She is ink stamped on the bottom with, "1961 Inarco E-436A". The black and gold "Inarco Japan" foil sticker is also present. The perfect addition to your figurine or planter collection. This would make a wonderful gift, too.
