Katherine's Collection Mrs. Claus or Christmas Pastry Chef Figurine

This is a highly detailed, handcrafted collector's figurine, likely from the 'Katherine's Collection' or a similar high-end brand like Mark Roberts. The figure stands approximately 18 to 24 inches tall and depicts a whimsical culinary-themed Christmas character, appearing to be a stylized Mrs. Claus or a festive pastry chef. She is dressed in a multi-textured ensemble featuring a red velvet bodice with lace trim and gold metallic cord detailing. Her skirt and oversized chef's hat are made from a cream-colored fabric adorned with intricate gold glitter scrollwork. Notable features include a hand-painted resin face with expressive blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and realistic facial features, complemented by a soft white mohair-style beard and bushy eyebrows. The hat is embellished with a sprig of festive greenery, a red berry, and a pinecone, sitting atop a red and white checkered band. The arms are poseable, ending in delicate resin hands, one of which holds a gold-trimmed accessory. The overall craftsmanship is excellent, exhibiting the luxurious 'Old World' whimsical style popular in the early 21st century. The condition appears very good with no visible breaks in the resin or significant staining to the fabrics, though there is a subtle patina of dust consistent with display use. The item features high-quality indicators such as weighted balance for standing and fine lace applications.
