My sweet little senorita with castanets:
Made by "Josef Originals":
Unfortunately, she got broken and was repaired a number of times.
I don't even remember where or when!
In fact, I didn't even remember that I had two of them.
I found what I believe is my oldest, original one packed away in a box.
You can see from the label on the bottom that they really didn't come from Mexico.
No, they were actually made in Japan:
Now side by side, the two of them make a pretty little pair.I am glad that I rediscovered her.
Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone!

I remember her. Nice that she has a twin. Very pretty. Feliz Cinco de Mayo. Love T
Josef Originals are some of my favorite pieces. I'd never seen these before and they are so beautiful. Happy Cinco de Mayo.
I had three of those girls when I was a kid and like a dope got rid of them when I got older. However, my sister took my Japan girl so I still get to see her.
She's great!
Happy Cinco de Mayo! (Rob)
How cute! I have two identical emerald Josef Original birthday girls for May, my birthday month. Like you, I didn't realize I had two until a few years ago. I'm sure my Mom must have given them to me, one when I was very young and the other much later. The background fabric in your pictures looks just like a love seat I used to have.
