Description: "Lucky" is so cute with great big eyes and a big silly smile! Lucky is shades of green and trimmed with silver accents . The wings are decorated with silver glitter. The whitish colors you see on his head/face, neck, belly, hands, feet are a bit glossy with shades of pinks/oranges....Lucky is hand painted so there could be some variation from other Lucky sculptures. Lucky is holding a pretty emerald green crystal. One of the "Mood Dragon" Sculpture Collection and an original work of art, crafted in hand-painted cold-cast porcelain. Lucky was only available through Franklin Mint and made for a limited time. One of the photos show the gold color sticker on the bottom of the sculpture where you will find Lucky's number. It may read cp73497 but it looks like it is hand written in marker and difficult to read. This particular Mood Dragon's shipping box had never been opened until I was preparing my four dragons to sell. Lucky is in like new condition. I just took an extra look with the magnifiers and noticed two tiny imperfections in the paint on Lucky's lower lip and on lower part of his chubby cheek. I did not notice them as I was looking him over without the magnifiers. Both on his left, on the right of the photo I am just adding. They were likely very small bubbles in the paint that then flaked off. It does happen sometimes with ceramics. The only reference I could find regarding a date made or shipped is on the yellow envelope included in this listing that is filled with little flyers of other collectibles from Franklin Mint. On the outside of that envelope is printed "To Guarantee Christmas Delivery Order by December 10, 1999". This Lucky little dragon will bring a smile to the new owner! Lucky will be so darn cute sitting on a desk to greet your visitors. What a unique conversation piece! Perfect gift for many family or friends!! I especially feel Lucky is perfect for anyone with a birthday in May since May's birthstone is the emerald and Lucky's crystal color is a very pretty emerald green! In addition to Lucky all paperwork that was in the box is included: - The Certificate of Authenticity- A Collectors' letter from Elizabeth Jennings from Franklin Mint's Collector Services - An envelope filled with little pamphlets advertising other treasures from Franklin Mint- A Gift Registry Card that would have been used to register this piece in the late 1990's/early 2000's when the original collector of this piece was buying. Franklin Mint is still operating. I do not know if they would still process this registration.- The original Shipping Information/Shipment Summary/Shipping Information form. However the personal information; name, address, account numbers have been covered with black marker out of respect for the original purchaser. See the photos for condition of the paperwork. You will see there is a curl to the paperwork. This could not be avoided since the paperwork is 8 1/2" wide and the shipping box is 6" wide. When looking at the back of the yellow envelope you will that the bottom left corner is torn. Lucky does not have any odd/unusual smells. The envelope of advertising pamphlets had a bit of a smell when I first opened it. I let it sit on the table overnight and it is fine now. The soft foam packing does have some old smell to it. It is less this morning and I will leave these open to the air to help reduce the smell. Please understand this package has been sealed up for about 25 years! Lucky will be packed back into and mailed in the original shipping box and cushioned for protection in the same soft foam. There is wear and discoloration to this box but is still appropriate for shipping. The box for these Mood Dragons is a typical white 6" x 6" x 5" shipping box.
