Overview
A set of three ethereal angel figurines designed with a frosted, satin-like finish that mimics high-end French art glass.
Story
The late 20th century saw a massive cultural resurgence in 'Angel-mania,' where celestial motifs became the cornerstone of home sanctuary decor. These specific figures were designed to capture and diffuse light, creating a soft glow that felt both modern and ancient.
Maker / Origin
While these lack a visible signature, they are consistent with the high-quality giftware produced by companies like Roman, Inc. or the San Francisco Music Box Company during the 1990s.
Condition & Value
The figures appear to be in good vintage condition. There is some visible thinning or 'rubbing' of the gold paint on the trumpets and wing tips, which is common for pieces of this age. This minor wear is expected and reduces the value only slightly compared to a mint-condition set. This estimate is for the complete set of three.

Layer in sold comps, value drivers, and venue guidance.
Comparable demand stays strongest where maker, originality, and venue confidence line up. Broader examples still trade, but the range tightens quickly when provenance, condition, or selling lane fit is missing.
