From The Little Women series, this is Sylvia. From the early days of Muriel's career, this California piece is breathtaking. She includes the name label and the oval black/gold California label. THe rose petals are all intact, and the gold accents very shiny. How does this happen with a piece this old (potentially up to 70+years)? These older pieces were made with a grade of porcelain that makes them very lightweight. The bottom is incised and also has two small painted lines. I've also seen it in red, a red v or red dots. I wonder if it was a certain painter's ID...only a guess and another question that we'd love to ask Muriel about. The search will go on forever...
She sells for $80 plus our flat rate shipping to anywhere in the continental US. Thanks for looking!
