Getting to know this interesting #HiveCollectors community opens my eyes and I realize that I have a lot of interesting items in my possession that can be presented.
Let's say these interesting painted alabaster figurines.
I know very little about them, although they have been in my family's possession for half a century 🙂
They were bought in Romania, at a time when Yugoslavia was complete, and during the era of communism in Romania and the rule of dictator Ceausescu.
At that time, our grandparents, and sometimes our parents (at an early age), went on shopping trips to Romania, because our neighbors had certain items with a much lower price. I remembered the embroidery thread from which the popular "Milje-a" were made by hand in the 80s.
These figurines were in a display case, and judging by the damage on them, it seems that they were within reach of children who played with them.
The figurines are not dolls, but they could serve for play.
These figurine of ours were bought at the beginning of the 80s of the last century (that is, before I was born) and have been decorating the display cases in our houses for more than 50 years.
A figurine of a girl with a lamb
A figurine of a girl with a ball and a dog
A figurine of a lady
My favorite is the figure of the girl with the lamb, it's somehow the most sympathetic to me.
But the figurine with a lady of the court, whose dress shows folds, or the figurine of a girl with a ball and a dog, on which you can see curls on the fur of a poodle, are not to be underestimated.
Although these figurines were probably made according to a template, with the help of molds, only the painting of them was done by hand.
These three figurines were made in the Vlitorul workshop from Fagaras, in 1972.
Thank you for stopping by my post and I hope you enjoyed the photos and the story I shared with you.
I hope you find these figurines of mine interesting.
