THIS PIECE HAS ALREADY SOLD AND IS LISTED "FOR REFERENCE ONLY."
Another Pedestal Girl...and this is a favorite! Holding her Bible, she is Gabriella...or Gabrielle, as her name tag is half gone. In the reference guide (2000) Josef Originals Figurines of Muriel Joseph George by Jim and Kaye Whitaker, she is shown on page 21 as Pedestal Girl with her Bible. No name indicated, however, it is exactly this piece. She is in very good condition, with a minor repair on the brim of her hat and the front roseleaf. She probably tipped over at one point and was gently and neatly repaired. Please look at the photos as they show the areas well. Otherwise, she is beautiful, with little crazing. The rose petals are all intact. She includes half of the oval gold/black Josef Originals California label and half of the gold name label. It looks like someone wanted/tried to remove them. The bottom is incised with Josef Originals and the ink stamp is on the side of the pedestal base. All in all, she is a wonderful piece of Muriel's California creations. She sold for $95 plus our flat rate shipping to anywhere in the continental US. She would be included in the most recent reference guide (2008) in the $100-110 price range. I have not seen others in this series before. They are really a wonderful part of Muriel's workmanship.
