Rare vintage miniature lady head vase attributed to Rubens Originals, featuring a glamorous blonde Hollywood starlet with sculpted curls, vivid blue eyes, dramatic lashes, red lips, a plunging black dress and dangling faux-pearl earrings.
The striking blonde hairstyle, expressive features and black dress give this piece a strong Marilyn Monroe lookalike appearance. Marilyn-style lady head vases are a recognized collector niche; however, this piece is not represented as an officially licensed Marilyn Monroe item.
Maker attribution: The underside bears a faint impressed cursive “R”-style mark, and the form and styling are consistent with known Rubens Originals lady head vases. Rubens collector references also document blonde, black-dress and pierced-ear head vase variations. Because no original paper label or clearly legible model number remains, the maker is listed as Rubens Originals based on the impressed mark and design characteristics; attribution is not guaranteed.
Measures approximately 3.5 inches tall. Please review measurement photos.
Condition: Vintage pre-owned condition with age-related wear, surface marks, scattered discoloration and paint/glaze wear. Wear is particularly visible throughout the blonde hair finish. Minor marks are visible to the face and body. Both dangling faux-pearl earrings remain attached. Please inspect all photographs closely for exact condition.
Vintage collectible is sold as-is. Photos are considered part of the description.
