Vintage Florence Ceramics \'Joyce\' figurine.

- Joyce wears a rose pink dress with puffed sleeves and full skirt. Her cream hat has floral details on the back as well as beneath the brim matched by a flower on her neckline.

- Hand crafted circa the 1950s from 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 with \'Joyce\' inscribed on the base

- Good condition with no cracks or chips. There are some places on the back of her skirts where the pink paint has come off, showing the white beneath. I also noted one tiny pin prick sized dark spot on her arm. Please see photos for more detail.

Measurements: 8 5/8\" x 6 1/2\" x 5 1/2\"
