Up for sale is a vintage 1940’s chalkware, bride and groom wedding cake topper. This topper was made by Coast Novelty Corporation. This piece has some pluses and some minuses. I think the pluses outweigh the minuses but in the end please use the pictures as a part of the description. I tried to photograph everything that could be considered a minus. This bride has a beautiful gown. It has many pleats and a beautiful neckline! I think it looks like something Princess Kate would have w...orn! She does have a fishnet veil that has yellowed from age, overall the veil is still lovely. The groom is wearing a smart tux and I love his bow tie. Now for the minuses: the topper has a lot of crazing particularly on the heart shaped base. There is also some crazing on the gown and tux, but not like the base. There are a couple of what look like chips on two pleats, but they appear to have been painted at the time of manufacturing. The groom does have a couple of chips: one on his hand and one on the top of his head. Maybe the wedding got a little rowdy! Anyhow, I still think they’re beautiful even with their flaws. Her dress is just unique and timeless!! If you have any questions please contact me- thank you! Shipped from a smoke free home with first class package.
