Description: Hello. I am so pleased to be offering an exquisite 1961 Inarco E-534 lady head vase from my own personal collection. She is extremely hard to find in any condition. She is highly sought after by and coveted among new and seasoned collectors alike. The lady is made of ceramic and is quite heavy. All three of the applied flowers in her hair are intact. She could use a light cleaning on the outside; in the bottom of the inside, there is some residue from having been used as a planter. The lady has a number of issues, mostly minor, and some of which occurred during production. I believe her faux pearl necklace to be original; as such, some of the pearls are mildly discolored. Near the top edge, in the "3 o'clock" position, is a tiny partially burst bubble (factory flaw). On the top edge, in the "5 o'clock" position, is a flea bite and some minor discoloration; on the facing inside edge, there are two small touch ups (not done by me). It's not entirely clear why they were put there. There is some clear glue residue on both earlobes under the tops of both earrings. Underneath her right eyelash is a small horizontal air pocket (factory flaw). She has a trace of paint loss on the right side of her lips and her front neckline. On her right pinky finger, there is a tiny rough patch and a dot of red missing from her painted fingernail. On the front base edge of her left arm is a 1/16" tight hairline and two small touch ups (again, not by me); they are visible from the front. Underneath her left arm is a tiny burst bubble (factory flaw). For the sake of accuracy, she has fine clear crazing throughout; it in no way detracts from the vase's attractiveness. Overall, the lady is in very good vintage condition. Please disregard the appearance of any white spots which are due to camera glare. Her dimensions are 7" h x 6" w x 4-1/4" d. The bottom of the vase is stamped copywrite 1961 INARCO E-534. Her bottom also retains the entire original foil label which reads INARCO JAPAN with the company's logo in between. The vase displays beautifully and is simply stunning. The lady will be packed especially carefully before shipping and will be fully insured. The quoted price is an estimate for both USPS Priority Mail shipping and insurance. Any shipping/insurance overage will be reimbursed promptly. I will gladly combine shipping for multiple purchases as long as it would be safe to do so. What a perfect gift for someone special or just for yourself! The lady would make a superb addition to any collection. Thanks so much for looking. All reasonable best offers will be seriously considered. (Please note that offers of more than 10% off would not be viewed as reasonable.) I welcome you to check out my other listings.
