The Ghost of Christmas Past Figurine (Christmas Carol Collection)

This item is a collectible figurine depicting the 'Ghost of Christmas Past' from Charles Dickens’ perennial holiday classic, A Christmas Carol. Based on the product packaging, the figure represents a young woman dressed in an antique-white empire-waist dress with decorative holly trim along the hem and neckline. She features long white hair and a distinctive golden, radiant halo or crown that likely represents the jet of light often mentioned in the original text. In her hands, she holds a sprig of holly and a large golden extinguisher cap used as a hat. The figure is mounted on a circular base characterized by a textured stone-like perimeter and a dark red-brown top surface. The base prominently features a scroll-style plaque with the text 'THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST' in a bold, capitalized serif font. Constructed from what appears to be hand-painted cold-cast resin or a similar ceramic composite, the item displays fine details in the facial features and the fold of the garments. The colors are muted, favoring ivory, gold, and deep reds, consistent with Victorian-themed holiday decor from the late 20th century (likely the 1990s). The original box is visible, featuring a dark green border and a red-and-white patterned background, indicating it is part of a larger set. The box shows minor shelf wear at the corners but appears in overall good vintage condition, preserving the decorative value of the set for collectors.
