Hi,I don't mean to be a pain, but you mention wear on the face.
would you be able to take a closer, clear picture of the face to show this?
thx

@charliky Not a problem- it may take me a day or two to locate her, as I've moved and I believe it's in storage at my family's place. Will post when I've uploaded the photos.

@colin_bowers no problem, and no rush.

@charliky My mother is more organized than I am- she found it right away and took more photos, in better light. There are definitely no chips or flakes- we're on the fence whether there is just some oxidizing to the paint (it's a more of a wash/matte style glaze than glossy) or whether it was designed that way. I will let you decided based on closer inspection!

@colin_bowers Thank you very much for your time and effort. As a fellow seller, I know how annoying it can sometimes be to have to reshoot an item.
This figurine was intended as a gift. I feel that whatever is going on with the face may be a significant detraction for my mother, so I think I'll pass this time.
But once again, many thanks.

@colin_bowers I'll look through your other items though!! maybe I'll find something else.

@charliky I don't mind at all; I have very few items listed at the present time, so anything you see that you want more photos of, just let me know. I will post another piece that is similar to this in style, from Rudolstadt Germany, but 3 times the height and weight, just for interest- it would be very diificult/expensive to shift, but if you're ever in the Maritimes, you'd be welcome to stop by and have a look in person. I have a few antique Meissen plates and dishes, not listed yet...
