Description
This Magnificent and absolutely Stunning Mannequin Head designed for hats, jewellery (including earrings as her ears are pierced) and accessories is extremely rare and the only model I have ever seen by The Danesi Pottery Company that was in existence from 1937 to 1975 in Canada. The ceramic items were only produced from 1955.Going by her hairdo that shows some mild teezing, she is a transitional model between the late 60's and early 1970's which is likely when she was produced.
In all the time that I have been paying attention to these gals I have only seen 2 versions of this model with the same sculpture but slightly different coloring and make up.
This fabulous Lady made of plaster material is in
excellent condition
with all her original make up and shows no wear at all anywhere, no chips, no cracks, no crazing, it looks as if she was never used and made it straight from the Danesi company warehouse when it was closed, to a dealer and then to enhance big time my personal collection as there is nothing like her in existence...She has been part of my collection since the 1980's.
Measures
21" in height, 15" in width, making her an outstanding display model, her presence is unavoidable, totally spectacular and displays necklaces and earrings magnificently. She is marked on the back : DANESI ART CANADA...The bottom 1s covered wit green felt.
I do have a photo of the markings but I am not including it in the listing as she is so photogenic that I could have included many more photos from different angles where she is totally fabulous...I had a very hard time choosing only 12...If you would like to see the markings that are insisted into the pottery, please do not hesitate to ask.
The photos are going to do all the talking as far as her beauty but they will not be able to translate the impact that she has in person...She is truly MAGNIFICENT and SPECTACULAR.
The shipping quoted
is very high, specially for overseas but accurate for Xpresspost which is the only method that is fast secure and can be insured...The alternative is surface which is much cheaper but there is no guarantee as far as how long it
would
take specially for countries other than U.S or Canada...She weighs 5 KG./10LBS Without packaging and requires a very large box.
