Lady?    I make each doll in her entirety from pouring the porcelain clay to sanding it, firing it, china painting and shading (requiring many firings) the French Rose-colored bisque, and last, but not least…the fun part…costuming the doll. This statuette has moveable and therefore, poseable arms. Each one has details too numerous to mention and looks as fabulous from the back as she does from the front. My signature is written in gold on the back of her neck, and she comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. It is impossible for me to show you how STRIKING AND BREATH-TAKING this beauty is in a 2-dimensional picture, but I CAN let my customers tell you! WOW! SHE'S GORGEOUS! UNBELIEVABLE!
