SOLD Diane Figurine by Florence Ceramics

SOLDSOLD Diane Figurine by Florence Ceramics

Fine Art:Ceramics:By Florence Ceramics
Diane, while not rare, is a bit harder to find than the standard Florence Ceramics figurines that have become a dime a dozen. Or so says an expert on these intricately detailed beauties. Her book value in 2002 was an astonishing $450.00 - but things have changed since then. Today, this Diane is worth the price I am requesting. There is another model with articulated hands that is worth about $50.00 more. My Diane has a muff that was added by Florence that covers the left hand. You can see in my ...

SOLDSOLD Artiest Signed Art Deco Era Ring

Antique & Vintage Jewelry:Vintage:Rings:Art Deco,Sterling
This bold and beautiful Art Deco Era ring is a definite statement when worn on your hand. Currently a size 9 ½, it would well be worth the time to have it resized if you should need to do so.

A beautiful 1/4 inch point to point square stone of Aqua Marine is the center piece of the ring. It is faceted and open backed and catches the light dramatically.
