An early edition and rare colourway, wide green dress with pink shawl fringed in black. The figurine captures the tentative moment a young lady takes her "first dance". No two hand painted figurines will ever be exactly the same and the artist who painted this lady has made that point by applying a very unique beauty spot on her right cheek. just above her lips.
First Dance was originally issued 1957 - c1980. She was designed and modelled by Freda G. Doughty.

The majority of these figurines have the 1970's and 1980's back stamp.
She stands stands just over 7 inches high and just over 5 inches wide.
