Vintage Japan Umbrella Girl Figurine | Small Ceramic Floral Shelf Sitter

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.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
