RESERVED - VERY RARE E0298 TEEN HEAD VASE IN PURPLE DRESS W LOVELY CURLS HEADVASE

This absolutely gorgeous headvase is very very rarely seen and one that is also very sought out by knowledgeable collectors...Some people confuse her with the more common (in different colors) model E-3663 by Inarco that has the bow on the center of her hairdo, but if you really look, there is no comparison. Both the beautiful fine features and the more interesting pose (Sculpture) make this one the Rolls Royce and the other one. a still very nice Ford.  This is the only way ...she is found which has earned her the nickname of “The Purple Teen”Beautiful combination of colors between her dress, wonderful hair both in color and sculpture and that very 1960's actual Orange lipstick.
Excellent condition, no chips, no cracks, no color loss, clean inside and out, never used as a planter. Has some very, very minute clean and clear crazing, very hard to notice even under strong light … It is more noticeable in my extreme close up photos but even there is hard to see unless looking for it...Her necklace is not original, this is the way she came to me and it is easily removed if so desired (but why?...It looks great!) as it has a clasp.
Measures a tad under 7-12", has no markings but she has been identified as Model E0298 by Enesco in page # 101 of the “Head Vases, Identification and Values” Second Edition by Kathleen Cole.
Any collection missing this wonderful model is missing one of the most wonderful teens, she is irreplaceable and definitely a must have.
