These 3 statues were part of Avon's 'American Fashion Thimbles" series. The entire series featured 8 different ladies of fashion representing the years from the 1890s to the 1940s. They were in production from 1982 to 1986 and then discontinued. You can no longer get them or replacements of them from Avon. Each lady is hand crafted and made of porcelain.
I purchased these 3 at an estate sale, so I have no info on their past 'living" conditions. I dusted them using a small craft brush, but you'll probably want to clean them further. I didn't know what to safely use on them.
Looking at my photo, the 3 I am offering include:
1890s Lady in a blue dress. Her hat has pink roses. She was the first issue of the series and is dated 1982.
1942 Lady in a Mauve dress with white to gray accents. She is dated 1984.
1927 Lady in a turquoise blue dress, cloche hat, and a string of pearls. She is dated 1983.
(I know, I have them out of date order in my photo). I wrapped them each in bubble wrap and packed them into a small box and then realized I didn't provide measurements on them. If you need exact measurements, let me know and I'll unpack/unwrap them, but they each measure about 2 inches tall.
Delivery will be by USPS First Class Mail Parcel. Buyer to pay $6.45 shipping charges.
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their “Delivering for America” plan in which they hope to become profitable. It’s a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we’ve got years to go with multiple price increases each year. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the changes when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can fit safely into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
