Vintage Victoria Ashlea Bette Ball Jester Music Box. Measures 10" in height. Name is Arthur. Very good condition. Works well. Plays 'Music Box Dancer'.
This whimsical Victoria Ashlea collectible, designed by Bette Ball and named "Arthur," is a delightful example of fine musical porcelain from the late 20th century. The piece features a high-quality porcelain head with hand-painted facial details, including vibrant green eyes and soft blush, topped with bouncy teal curls. Arthur is dressed in a striking silver metallic hat and a voluminous ruffled collar accented with shimmering rainbow-striped trim. Standing approximately 10 inches tall on a velvet-covered base, this music box remains in very good condition and functions perfectly, playing the classic, upbeat tune "Music Box Dancer." These dolls are known for their blend of theatrical flair and delicate craftsmanship, making them a favorite for those who collect jesters, harlequins, or musical figurines.
This item is vintage, over 30 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
