Description

This delightful little girl dressed in a dark burgundy skirt, white apron, and matching headscarf stands waving with a tiny cat at her feet. Her hand-painted details are crisp and warm, and she carries the classic Hummel-inspired folk charm collectors adore. Marked Japan on the base with a hollow foot ring typical of mid-century Japanese porcelain production.

This sweet girl figurine wears a green skirt and orange knit cap, carrying what appears to be a small purse or bag. Her rosy cheeks and wide eyes give her that unmistakable kitschy charm that defined postwar Japanese export ceramics. Marked Japan on the base.

This cheerful boy figurine sports a blue shirt, tan beret, and carries a basket overflowing with goods and a bright red bow. His stocky little stance and painted-on grin make him utterly irresistible to collectors of vintage folk-style porcelain. Marked Japan on the underside.

This porcelain bookend features a wide-eyed child in green and red folk costume riding atop a graceful white swan surrounded by cresting blue-and-white waves, with a yellow duckling at the base. It is one of a matching pair and is flat-backed for display. Marked Made in Japan on the base.

This is the matching companion bookend to the swan piece described above, featuring a similarly dressed child in red and green riding a swan amid stylized waves with a yellow duckling. Together the pair makes a stunning and whimsical bookshelf display. Also marked Made in Japan on the base.
