On November 12, 2006, the very last Pocket Dragon event was held, followed by Real and Muff Musgrave’s retirement, effective on December 31st of that year. Real Musgrave created and designed these precious Hummel collectibles, not only drawing the flat artwork, but also sculpting them. This is most unusual in the artistic world of collectible lines. Real and his wife, Muff, had nearly complete creative control over the Pocket Dragon line, making certain that their artistic vision came to life. The Pocket Dragons came a long way from the limited set of black and white drawings done by Real Musgrave in mid-1970, which captured a little dragon in the pocket of a tweed sport jacket.
One of four ornaments released in 2002 is Sugar Plum Fairy, which is not in the Band of Angels boxed set. This darling, mint condition ornament stands approximately 2 ¾ inches high and was retired in December 2004. Clad in a frilly, ice pink tutu, the charming little dragon has a merry twinkle in her eyes. A golden halo gleams over her head, which is adorned with bright green holly leaves with shiny red berries. The exquisite dragon fairy has a beautiful red ribbon, stretching in an arc over her head, while she grasps an end in each delicate hand. The soft, light pink of her muzzle and inner ears are quite endearing and her friendly expression is inviting. The authentic Pocket Dragon’s copyright is Real Musgrave, The Whimsical World of Pocket DragonsTM and is distributed in the United States by Goebel of North America L.L.C. Bring the delightful, enchanted world of Pocket Dragons into your home, with this captivating 2002 Sugar Plum Fairy Pocket Dragon ornament!
