10" plate- "Princess Snowflake" by Delores Valenza for the Franklin Mint in White frame

"Prinzessin Schneeflocke" (Princess Snowflake) is a porcelain collector's doll designed by artist Delores Valenza for the Franklin Mint.

The German text in the image is a poetic description that accompanies the piece:

Prinzessin Schneeflocke tanzt schwebend auf uns zu

ein heller Blick aus großen, blauen Sternenaugen

schon vorbei, entschwunden. Ein kleines Glück —

gleich einem Schmetterling im Winter.

English Translation

"Princess Snowflake"

by Delores Valenza

Princess Snowflake dances floating towards us

a bright gaze from large, blue star-eyes

already gone, vanished. A small piece of happiness —

like a butterfly in winter.
