VM831 - This is a very rare set made by "Joty" back in the 50's and one of the most sought after sets by collectors. No breaks and the set includes the 8.5" tall mom, all 3 babies, and 3 gold bubbles. The Joty sets can be identified by the shell/bead/rhinestone design that she did the same in every set she made... just made the sets in different colors! Another Joty trademark is the flower that was always put on the back of the mirror that one of the babies is holding. You often see people advertising mermaid sets as "Joty" just because there is a design on the tails....., but Joty had a unique design (like the one here) and it is very obvious when a set is Joty by the this design, the flower on the back of the mirror the baby is holding, and the way Joty did their eyes. This is not only a rare set because there were not many made, but it is a complete set with all 3 babies and bubbles in striking gold. Some of the tiny shells have chips on them... but the set is in great condition seeing it's 70 years old!! This is definitely a mermaid set to prize and hand down for generations.Check out my other items as I also have many vintage Lefton, Norcrest, Bradley, Miller Studio, Ceramicraft and Napco mermaids, fish, seahorses, dolphins and whales for sale.... as well as kitchen and vanity collectibles, bathing beauties, and Holt Howard Pixies - there is something for everyone!
