Description: Hello. I am offering a hard-to-find stately Enesco Benjamin Franklin head vase from my own personal collection. Similarly, I am selling two Enesco president head vases in separate listings (George Washington and Abraham Lincoln). I also have the Enesco Thomas Jefferson head vase in fair vintage condition but have not yet listed him; if you are interested in him, please message me and I'll make his listing a priority. Thanks. The last photo shows how great the full set looks displayed together. Ben has excellent, healthy face color. He is wearing an off-white buttoned shirt and a black jacket. On his left shoulder, his jacket is incised with BENJAMIN FRANKLIN 1706 - 1790. Ben has no scratches or repairs. There is a flea bite and a connected 1/8" horizontal hairline on the front of his shirt at the base edge. Only the flea bite is slightly visible from the front. On his right side, there is a horizontal line on his lower cheek. On his right shoulder, there is some glaze crackling and a small oval paint flake. On Ben's back, underneath his hair and on his jacket collar, there are two off-white paint drips. Just to the right of these is an indentation near the bottom of his hair. On the bottom of his hair on the left side, there is a vertical line of some excess ceramic material. Just to the left of this is a short diagonal line indentation. Much of what is mentioned above is believed to have occurred during production. Other than the flea bite on the front of his shirt, no other flaws are visible from the front. Ben is in good vintage condition. Please disregard the appearance of any white spots which are due to camera glare. Ben's dimensions are 5-7/8" h x 4-1/4" w x 4-1/4" d. The vase is unmarked. He displays wonderfully and is quite handsome. Ben will be packed especially carefully before shipping and will be fully insured. The quoted price is an estimate for both USPS Priority Mail shipping and insurance. Any shipping/insurance overage will be promptly reimbursed. I will gladly combine shipping for multiple purchases as long as it would be safe to do so. What a perfect gift for someone special in your life or just for yourself! He would make a fine addition to any collection. Thanks so much for looking. All reasonable best offers will be seriously considered. (Please note that offers of more than 10% off would not be viewed as reasonable.) I welcome you to check out my other listings.
