13 1/2″ Porcelain Ariel: Sweet Dreams Fairy by Patricia Rose. Ariel came with the following information:
” She arrives on a moonbeam, a golden-haired goddess aloft on gossamer wings. Ariel, the Sweet Dream Fairy brings enchantment as evening falls. The master dollmakers of Paradise Galleries have surpassed themselves to create this incomparable enchantress to delight of collectors around the world.
Ariel offers exquisite detailing, from her finely sculpted “breather nose”, to her hand-applied eyelashes and pointed fairy ears. Bewitching aqua eyes are hand-set in exquisitely sculpted hollows. Her fine imported bisque complexion glows like live skin. Tenderly sculpted lips are so lifelike you expect Ariel to speak in magical tones. This enchanted fairy’s breathtaking features are entirely hand-painted, as are the rosy tips of her separated fingers and tiny bare toes.
Ariel’s lavish gown of aqua and lavender shimmers in the moonlight. Ribbons of gold circle her neckline and sleeves and gold lame embosses her bodice. A wreath of flowers and golden bells crown her soft blond curls. The touch of her sparkling wand wips away cares, a sprinkling of her fairy dust brings untroubled sleep and magical dreams.
Enchanted fairies from Paradise Galleries are treasured by collectors worldwide for craftsmanship, quality and fine detail unavailable elsewhere at these affordable issue prices…and Ariel is the jewel of the collection. As always, this individually numbered Premier Edition bears the artist’s signature and is limited to just 100 firing days. ”
I purchased the Ariel in 1995 from Paradise Galleries.
