Rare? Napco 1960 Christmas Girl Planter w/ Wreath, Present, Red Dress. Japan

Description: This possibly rare Christmas girl planter from National Pottery Company (Napco) measures 5 inches wide, 6 inches tall, 3 1/4 inches deep. It is a lovely example of Napcoware Christmas ware. The red and green colors are cold paint, which usually chips or wears off, but this piece is in fabulous condition for being almost 65 years old. Bottom has incised copyright symbol and word "Napco". Painted under glaze is CX4828C Napco 1960. The original foil sticker is still there as well, though it does have some wear, it reads "National Pottery Company, Made in Japan. Many of the photos show light reflections, not paint loss. I've drawn arrows to show paint loss on some photos, and will describe as follows: looking at the figure, on the right the red dress has a spot of paint missing, this is the most noticeable spot. also on that side, the edge of the dress where the white ruffles are towards the bottom has a few small paint rubs, they are right on the edge of the dress and do not stand out. The arm holding the present has four small spots of paint loss. The arm holding the wreath has a very tiny paint loss spot, just above her elbow. The left side of the dress has a very faint line of paint loss (hard to see), about the middle. The left side also has a tiny paint loss spot at the very bottom point of the dress. The green wreath has a small paint loss spot at the top. That's all I see! There may have been gold on the edges of the dress at one time, it's hard to tell. Such a beautiful piece, and I couldn't find another one anywhere online! Flat fee for shipping is $15. (if actual shipping is less, difference will be refunded) Thanks for looking.
