From the Vicki Lee Little Collection."
I have only once ever came across this item in the last 5 years. Fair warning that there is a bunch of fake/ reproductions of this exact piece you can find on EBay currently - In comparison, the reproduction is certainly easy to pick having far less quality and detailing.
very nice
