Origin: Likely mid-20th century Japan/Europe (unmarked)
This figurine represents the popular mid-20th century trend in porcelain art where everyday childhood scenes were captured in delicate ceramic form. Figurines like this were often produced in Japan and Europe during the 1950s–1970s, intended for export to American and European households.
The design reflects the influence of Hummel-style and Lefton-era porcelain figures, with its soft hand-painted features, pastel palette, and sweet expression. Collectors value these figurines not only for their nostalgic charm but also for their place in the history of postwar decorative ceramics, when Japan became a major hub for finely painted export wares.
This piece would make a wonderful addition to a vintage figurine collection, a display of nursery-inspired porcelain, or as a sentimental gift for those who appreciate retro mid-century home décor.
