Gladys Boalt Handcrafted Signed 2001 Ornament Dew Drop Dancer Ballerina

Vintage 2001 signed Gladys Boalt Dew Drop Dancer Ballerina Ornament from her beloved Nutcracker series. Dew drop is a rare and harder to find dancer from the collection.  Gladys Boalt ornaments are entirely handmade in the USA, widely recognized for their inclusion on the White House Christmas tree during the Reagan administration and their presence in the Smithsonian Institution.  Condition: good vintage condition. Paint and fabric remain vivid and clear and free of any stains or damage. Neck shocker with delicate pearl and pearl detailing on her leaf skirt remain in tact. Bodice appears to be missing a few small pearls and one pearl from her left leaf on her hair. Painting on her feet & ribboning remain flawless. Her hair has areas where from time and age the glue used has become visible (see photos as this is minor and can be an easy fix- hair itself remains firmly on her head and styled) (Please review photos to verify exact condition & measurements).  Artisan Features: Beautifully hand-painted face, intricate lace collar, and signature soft-sculpture design.  Authentication: Signed and copyright dated 1989 by the artist on the shoe.  Ships quickly and securely to ensure safe arrival. Perfect addition for serious Boalt or ballet collectors!
