Manufacturer: Josef Originals
This irresistible series is from the "Early California" days 1945-1962 when Muriel Josef George designed and manufactured them in California before moving the factory to Japan. Like many Josef series they depict everyday life. Each girl represents her "Day of the Week" and is doing the kind of task performed on that day. Each one came in various colors. They are all 3.5 inches tall. The hand painted detailing with lots of gold trim and the life like faces with black eyes and signature raised pink roses make these little cuties a must have. These are truly "Hard to Find" as all of the older California Josef's are these days. Pictured in the following Josef Original books:
"Charming Figurines" pages 26-27
"A Second Look" page 8.
*This is "Wednesday" which must be "Mending Day". She is dressed in yellow with a white collar and has her mending basket in front of her. In one had she holds a sock darner and a needle in the other. You can see and feel the needle on top & bottom although it was probably longer originally. The signature pink rose with gold spaghetti trim adorn her dress and hair. Lots of gold trim. I have to admit I have never looked like that while mending!
~Excellent "Vintage" condition with no chips cracks or repairs.
~She does have some crazing which is normal at her age.
~Colors are still vivid. My pictures don't do her justice.
~Incised on the bottom "Josef Originals ©"
~Stamped on the side "Josef Originals ©" in a pallet shape.
~She has her original gold "Wednesday" sticker.
Please see all pictures and check out my other goodies. Thanks for looking ^..^~
