This vintage Japan umbrella girl figurine is a small glazed ceramic shelf sitter with soft cottage-style colors and plenty of visible age.
She wears a pale cream dress with scattered pink flowers, a pink bonnet, green scarf, and holds a bouquet and umbrella.
This one is not mint, and that is part of the story. With overall crazing, age marks, and handmade painted detail, she has the sweet, slightly imperfect charm collectors often like in small Japanese export ceramics.
