Love the creamy and distinctive look of mid-century California pottery? And like decorating with it? This 12" lady may belong in your house or apartment.Tall and beautiful. I took most pictures outdoors so the colors would be more true. There are a few apparent chips or areas where glaze and paint flaked off, and some in the three flowers in her front may have been painted over, but done well (see last two pictures, including a chip not painted; these pictures were taken indoors and the color is more peach than in real life). The back of one green leaf also looks like a painted over chip (picture #12). On the back, around the bottom rim, there are three areas where it appears that the glaze and paint flaked off or where painting was missed. Practically speaking, these chips won't be detectable when people see her on your shelf. These are the main ones, there may be smaller ones that I have missed because of location in the piece.
It is entirely possible that many of these are not true chips, but areas ofglaze that flaked off. A listing of a similar woman says this figure is from the 1940s, so a lot can happen over 80 years.
Her right planter compartment has a crack as in picture #5 but it is not a mended chunk, just a crack, and has no related chips. Finally, many very fine crazing lines in the glaze (see picture #7).
Heavy, and with needed packing, postage will be in the 2-3 pound level.
