The Jeweled Ocean Porcelain Fish Collection by Richard Ellis (Franklin Mint)

GIFT FOR THE COLLECTOR AT HEART! The Jeweled Ocean by Richard Ellis. DSCRIPTION: See Pictures for Details, they're the actual item, not stock photos.

This beautiful tropical marine fish porcelain collection was designed by renowned marine artist Richard Ellis. "The Jeweled Ocean" collection contains 15 porcelain sculptures. With each set of pictures taken, you'll see, I took the back and front views of the fishes. I only found two fishes with issues (SEE pic# 10,11 that show the back and front of them).

It had few clips which I glued back on and both have missing pieces to their fins. Youre still getting a great discount, as to maybe replacing them separately later on, the rest of the fishes, show a brilliance to color and didn't notice any chips or scratches. This was a hard decision for me to do and based on having only ONE COA (Certificate of Authenticity) that comes in a box with a booklet description for each fish. The collections were created under the hallmark of The Franklin. The sculptures in this series are approximately 3 to 4 inches tall.

PLEASE NOTE: BRASS GLASS DISPLAY CASE IS. They are no longer being made or available from The Franklin Mint, making this more of a RARE collection to have. The sculptures come with a box that includes COA and little fact booklets for each fish. The COA states: This is to certify that The Jeweled Ocean is a collection of 15 sculptures, each an original work of art by Richard Ellis, handcrafted in fine porcelain and painted by hand. It is further certified that this is the artist's premier sculpture collection and that it is available exclusively from The Franklin Mint.
