Material
Resin and crushed stone (cold-cast). The material is dense and heavy with a matte, porcelain-like finish and iridescent/opalescent highlights.
Condition
Very Good. Appears to have intact wing tips and finger detail, which are common points of break. Small scuffs along the cloud base consistent with display wear.
Demand Level
Niche/Low. While highly popular in the 90s, the market for large resin angels has softened. Peak demand occurs during the Christmas season and for Mother's Day.

Description
Exquisite Roman Inc. Seraphim Classics angel figurine titled 'Vanessa - Angel of Peace.' This piece features a beautiful angel with flowing red hair, a soft pastel pink gown with bow detailing, and iridescent white wings. She is depicted holding a white dove, standing atop a cloud-like base. Approximately 7.5 to 8 inches tall. Intended for collectors of religious art and angelic decor.
Key Features
Highly recognized collector line (Seraphim Classics), iridescent wing finish, symbolic dove detail, excellent shelf presence for religious or holiday decor.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: High. Look for the 'Roman Inc.' imprint and the year stamped on the bottom of the base, along with the item number (often 78084 for this series). The finish should feel cold to the touch due to the stone content.
Flaws to Note
Potential for tiny chips on delicate wing tips or the dove's beak. Visible dust in the deep crevices of the gown folds. Absence of the original gold-foiled tag or box reduces value.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for targeted collectors), Facebook Marketplace (best for avoid shipping risks), or Etsy (if sold as vintage).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Guardian Angel,' 'Religious Gift,' 'Opalescent,' and 'Seraphim Classics.' This item is fragile; double-box for shipping. Photograph against a dark background to make the white wings pop.
