Rare Florence Ceramics \'Gibson Girl\' figurine.

- Statuesque lady wearing a cream and gold outfit themed on the classic Gibson girl illustrations at the turn of the 20th century by Charles Dana Gibson. She wears a dress with puffed sleeves and a dress which flares at the base. Around her neck is a fur with matching detail on her hat created from spaghetti porcelain.

- Cream toned semi-porcelain with extensive hand applied 22 karat gold detailing

- Florence Ward (1898-1991) began taking art classes as a way of coping with the death of one of her sons in 1939. Encouraged by a professor, she began making ceramics out of her garage in 1942. Within seven years demand for her pieces was so strong Florence Ceramics was operating a large factory in Pasadena. The company produced a selection of home products but is best known for the ‘Florence Collection’ - authentic, detailed reproductions of historical and fictional characters.

- Marked \'Florence Ceramics Pasadena California\' on base

- Excellent condition with no cracks or chips. The fabric on base shows some age, not visible when displayed. Very hard to find this piece at all but especially in such superb condition.
