Vintage 1960s Does 1940s Chalkware Lady's Head Vase

I just love her. This is a chalkware lady's head vase by R. Dell'Osso and signed and dated 1965 on the back. She's made to look like a 1940s woman with those eyebrows and hairstyle. She's hand painted and has an opening on the top that's about 4" deep for flowers, but it would also be perfect for makeup brushes or anything else you wish to store upright. Or just display her as a bust. Measures about 10" tall, is about 6" wide and 5" deep and is quite heavy at about 4.5 pounds.

Excellent to good vintage condition. I say it that way because despite the obvious issues she's just SO perfectly distressed that to me its "excellent". Ok, so there are obvious areas of chipping and flaking paint, but the obvious real flaw is that she was broken at the neck ( poor darling!) and glued back together at some point. This really doesn't bother me and if you look at her back it almost appears that the break did not go all the way through. Hard to tell really. Anyway, you could tie a bit of ribbon there to hide it if you like but I personally love her just as she is. She is, though, priced accordingly and as is.

Please note that many of my items are vintage and/or made using vintage materials. I do my best to list any major issues, but some signs of life and love are to be expected and only add to their charm.
