Vintage buying Erich Stauffer Original Josef Originals Like Girl w/ Blue Dress Little Deb Series Holding Pink Bouquet Blond Hair Pink Rose Gold Bow

For all of the Josef Originals collectors, I introduce to you the Erich Stauffer Originals figurine. Here is one in a line of lovely figurines, much in the likeness of the wonderful Josef series. Sweet girls in soft pastel colors, and delicate features. Long dresses with flower designs, hair bows and up-dos. This particular figurine features a beautiful young lady all dressed up in her long blue dress. The dress has a wide white collar that goes from shoulder to shoulder, and is sleeveless. The collar is straight at the neckline, but is scalloped around the bottom edge with a gold line to define it. The dress has a large waist bow and sash at the back of the dress. The full skirt of the dress has a row of dancing blue flowers and painted gold stems and leaves that go buying from side to side just above the hem. Where the edge of the dress hem ends, there is a small ruffle of white lace showing. This, too, is defined with gold. Her golden hair is drawn up on either side and held in place at the top of her head by a single pink rose and gold bow. The back of her hair hangs in thick locks to just below the neckline. Her bangs are curly and add a nice frame around her pretty face. She is looking down at the pink bouquet she holds in her hand. I imagine she is thinking about the lovely flowers and perhaps the one who gifted them to her. Her face is fair with light blushing, black eyes and lashes, delicate black eyebrows, a tiny nose and a small red mouth. The tip of one gold shoe shows beneath her dress. The series number, "S8684", and the Stauffer mark are in blue ink on the bottom of the figurine, along with an "Original Arnart Creation" foil sticker. She also bears the silver and black, "Stauffer Originals" foil sticker on the side of her dress. What a lovely addition to your collection.
