Cybis introduced this very limited edition Baby Bust in 1967. It had a declared edition of 500 (at $375 retail) in 1967 but in 1968 this edition was closed after only 239 had been made. This piece had serious production problems, i.e., a bad habit of exploding in the kiln. At the time of closing the price had risen to $550. It is 11” high and 10” from elbow to elbow on its wood base. A very beautiful substantial piece with fantastic detail - the head appears to have downy hair - great eyes!

This LIMITED EDITION CYBIS BUST FIGURINE is from a 98 year old women's estate- she worked as a government worker in Center City Philadelphia - she saved from each paycheck to purchase her beloved Madame Alexander Dolls and many other collectibles - she enjoyed sculpture, original paintings and many pieces of art. I will be listing many Madame Alexander dolls, Royal Doulton figurines, pottery, and Cybis to name a few —dating from the late 1960's until about 1982 ---all in pristine condition. Most dolls never displayed, and some still have the price tags on the doll or boxes - I have also listed HEREND ANIMAL FIGURINES from her collection, and now well over 30 ROYAL DOULTON FIGURINES DATING FROM 1960's to 1990's will be listed. Most of her collection was purchased in Gimbels, Strawbridge & Clothiers, and Wanamakers- all famous high end stores in Philadelphia. Please continue to check my listings for more - many to be listed soon - she was a large collector and it is taking some time - thank you for your interest.
