A lovely gift for a California Pottery collector, a DeLee enthusiast, or anyone drawn to the whimsical charm of mid-century American handcraft.

This figurine is hand painted with floral details on her pink gown and blonde hair worn in long braids — with an unusual detail worth noting: gold trim that we haven't seen on other DeLee pieces. Whether it's an embellishment added later, a prototype variation, or simply a rare finish, we can't say for certain, but it makes her one of a kind even within a collectible line. Made by DeLee Art Co, founded by Jimmie Lee Stewart in 1937 and closed in 1958; earlier models carried a paper sticker. She works as a planter, cachepot, vase, scissors holder, or pencil cup.
