Peking Handicraft 31GY258MC Angel with Horn Needlepoint Stocking, 11x18

Beautifully made

WE WERE SORELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE COLORING OF THE ITEM WHEN WE OPENED THE BOX. TO BE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT IT WAS DULL, MUTED,TERRIBLY COLORED.IT'S AN UGLY WASHED OUT GREYISH BROWN AND TAN LOOKING STOCKING .THE ITEM ON THE IMAGE LOOKS BRIGHT AND THE COLORS VIBRANT. EACH ONE POPS INDIVIDUALLY. THE TWO TONE COLORS OF THE HORN, THE COLORS THAT DEPICT EACH INDIVIDUAL SHAPE AND SHADE TO MAKE IT EASY TO PICK UP EACH DETAIL ,IS NOT AT ALL LIKE THE ACTUAL STOCKING. ITS JUST DULL,EXTREMELY LIGHT COLORED, WASHED OUT BROWN TONES. THE BACK GROUND IS A MUTED UGLY GREYISH ARMY TAN COLOR, NOT THE CLEAN PRETTY OFF WHITE COLOR AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE. ITS DIFFICULT TO MAKE OUT THE DIFFERENT SHAPES WITH ALL OF THE MUTED, DULL COLORING OF BROWNS. IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE GOLD THREADING RUNNING THROUGH THE STOCKING IT WOULD BARELY SHOW THE DIFFERENT PATTERNS AT ALL. SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT FOR MY LITTLE ONE WHO SCROLLED THRU MANY CHOICES BEFORE CHOOSING THIS ONE. WE LIVE IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES AND IT TAKES MONEY AND TIME TO GET ITEMS DELIVERED. MY DAUGHTER IS THE YOUNGEST OF FOUR, AND WAS LOOKING FOR A SPECIAL NEEDLEWORK STOCKING LIKE THE ONES WE ALREADY HAVE OF ALL THE OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY WE BOUGHT LONG AGO WHEN WE LIVED IN THE STATES. THE OTHER FIVE STOCKINGS WE HAVE ARE MORE THAN TEN YEARS OLD AND HAVE MORE RICHNESS TO THEM THAN THIS BRAND NEW ONE.SHE WAS SO EXCITED TO PICK OUT HER OWN HEIRLOOM TYPE STOCKING TO LAST FOR CHRISTMAS MEMORIES TO COME.EXCITING! ONLY,UNFORTUNATELY,NOT. SHE WAS VERY GRACIOUS WHEN SHE OPENED IT AND SAID THAT IT WAS OK BECAUSE IT WAS FOR A GOOD CAUSE, TO HELP ANIMALS. SHE IS ONLY SEVEN. WE WILL LOOK FOR HER SPECIAL STOCKING AGAIN NEXT YEAR, AS ITS TOO LATE TO START THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS. IT VERY WELL COULD BE THAT THE OTHER CHOICES THIS COMPANY OFFERS ARE COLORFUL AND DETAILED WELL WITH VIBRANT RICH TONES AND SHADES, BUT NOT THIS ONE.SUCH A SHAME.WE WERE SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE STOCKING WE SAW IN THE PICTURE. WE WERE NAIVE ENOUGH TO THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO ENLARGE THE PICTURE THAT IT WOULD STILL BE TRUE TO ITS IMAGE.POORLY DONE.

It is pretty but as others have stated, the colors are not vibrant.

Absolutely beautiful stocking.
