Just had to share this lady. Made by Trico, Nagoya, Japan, she's hand painted porcelain in a shimmery luster glaze. A red head is an oddity in these types of MIJ figurines (cheaply made reproductions of 17th and 18th century European figures). And how did that old saw about green being the color for red head's make it to Japan sometime between the 1930's and 1950's? And why this shade of chartreuse green? Maybe the parrot influenced the shade. Whatever - it works for me. I think she's a definite vintage diva. Unbelievably found her on a GW shelf, unbroken and reasonably priced.
