I saw that exact style at the LB flea market. She was made into a table. I have one which is quite a bit larger but less detailed (no shells and less hair, larger dolphin)

Mine, I found at an estate sale. She was in bad shape, pitted and so much paint loss, she was nearly all white. (You can still see some surface pits and cracks but it shows her age.) Someone had taken a marker and given her red lips and bright blue eyeballs. People who saw her couldn't even tell she had a dolphin.

I had to save her! So I gave them their asking price-$50! I used all left-over spray paint except one can I got on sale(skin color) I touched up areas and gave her bedroom eyes. Not too bad for $52.50!

She is right outside my dining room door so I can see her from the inside. She is surrounded by my collection of large shells. I thought about putting her by the pool but she wouldn't have looked too good next to the treasure chest. (just too much going on there)
