A rare opportunity to own a signed, limited, numbered
Pinocchio with Jiminy Cricket
NOT a Disney issue, this crystal figurine was produced by CRYSTAL ZOO
and designed by Gina Truex.
I haven't been able to get a photo that does it justice, since the intricately cut inner facets,
especially in the head, glow like a hundred rainbows in slanting afternoon light.
Note that the nose does not touch Jiminy's head. Almost visible in these shots is the
cricket's antennae, made of thin wire. Note also the small base, on which are
hand-etched the limitation # 860 of 5000 and name of the designer.
A recent email from Gina Truex states, "This piece was designed in the 80's for a
company called Crystal Zoo---it is made of a combination of lead crystal glass from
Austria and Germany with added glass lamp-work. They were designed & assembled
in Boulder Colorado from 1979-1995." She goes on to say that not many survived and
it's rare to find one in PERFECT CONDITION like this.
