on back of packaging:
Breathtakingly beautiful in a gown of cobalt / blue velvet accented by a white lace stole, / Scarlett O'Hara Butler TM posed for a portrait / in her elegant mansion in postwar Atlanta. / However, both the gown and the portrait / session existed only in the imagination of an / artist on the set of the classic film Gone With / the Wind TM. Responding to the script, the / artist had quickly created a nearly life-size / portrait of Scarlett TM to hang in Rhett Butler's / bedroom. There it became the target for a / glass thrown by Rhett TM following a landmark / quarrel with his enchanting but ever vain / wife. / For another image of Scarlett TM, look for / the Keepsake Magic Ornament featuring the / "Farewell Scene" at your Hallmark retailer. / Sculpted by Patricia Andrews / For decorative use only. Not for young children. / Concue a des fins decoratives seulement. / Ne convient pas aux jeunes enfants. / Porcelain - Dated 2001
