DESCRIPTION
Franklin Mint The Jeweled Ocean Porcelain Fish "Raccoon Butterfly".  Designed by Marine Artist Richard Ellis and sold by Franklin Mint.  Beautiful color and detail on this tropical fish.  Marked on the bottom with  copyright symbol  88  and initials FM (Franklin Mint)  plus a stick on label  Crafted in Taiwan.  The figure is approximately 2 3/4" tall and 2 3/4" wide from mouth to tail fin.  The original owner was a collector of series of decorative pieces.  This is the last piece I have remaining from The Jeweled Ocean and Jewels of the Sea Collections previously listed.  I assume that this was displayed by the previous owner as there are no original boxes or paperwork.  On my inspection I found no damage or repairs and I would consider the piece to be in very good condition.
