Darling, Hand-Painted, 1940's Made in Occupied JAPAN Colorful CAT in Hat & buy Overalls w/A Polka Dot Planter/Vase w/Over 30 Handmade FLOWERS
❘❘❙❙❚❚ ON SALE ❚❚❙❙❘❘
This signed, circa 1940's fabulous planter/vase could NOT be cuter if it tried.
This beauty stands 4 1/4" high and is 5" from side to side (WITHOUT the floral bouquet).
With the bouquet, the height rises as high as 5 1/2," and the width is greater because the HANDMADE FLORAL BOUQUET is designed to look like a real flower bouquet, so flowers are at different heights, pour over the sides, etc.
A RARER offering, this little lad is made all the more special because of the beautiful HAND PAINTING and the fabulous condition the porcelain and painting are still in.
He is 4 1/4" long and 4 1/4" high (without flowers). If you add the over 40-flower handmade bouquet, he rises to a height of 5."
This adorable kitty wears a pink hat with a maroon rim. His face is white: he has brown detailed hair, blue eyes, adorable eyelashes, a little pink nose and red mouth and pink pink pink cheeks. One little kitten paw is held up and it wears a MITTEN. The kitty is dressed in aqua overalls that are extremely detailed and sport a mid-height bow on the top. He also has black shoes.
Next to this darlin' fella is a white porcelain round with large blue polka dots. And inside this round is the over 30 flower floral BOUQUET.
He is in terrific vintage CONDITION. I see no paint loss AT ALL. All paint and accent coloring is vivid and striking and clear. There are no chips or cracks and I see no crazing.
Which makes him all the more valuable to a collector, and all the more terrific for any buyer.
Made ONE OF A KIND by the fact that he showcases a handmade floral bouquet, this little guy needs a new home.
All flowers are HAND MADE and NO TWO FLOWERS ARE ALIKE.
Both vintage and current elements were used in making the flowers.
Most flowers have a leaf attached: whether it be in lusterware, gold plate, brass, brass filigree, etched brass, SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS or enamel or acrylic.
The flowers were made expressly to match the fabulous kitten, so they are in SHADES OF PINK and SHADES of AQUA.
The elements to make the flowers include (but are not limited to): woven celluloid, vintage brass, copper and bronze filigree, acrylics, etched and embossed brass, gold plate, hand painted PORCELAIN flowers (vintage), various kinds of SWAROVSKI crystal, GENUINE TURQUOISE, shamballa beads, rhinestone rondelles, MURANO beads and buy MILLIFIORE beads, vintage berry beads and hand-painted vintage CZECH hand blown glass beads, painted enamel and GENUINE PINK JADE beads.
In addition, a bevy of CORSAGE PINS, most vintage, were used. These are made of acrylics, crystal, glass and both real and faux PEARLS.
The flowers are ALL multi-level: transparent, luminescent, pearlized, painted, celluloid, glass, crystal, frosted and stacked with gold, silver, copper and a variety of other materials, including real gemstones to bring out tremendous saturation of color and style.
I have attempted to show all different views: front, side, back, top of this marvelous, unique and ONE OF A KIND belle. The second to last photo shows a "view from the top."
The last photo shows the "Made in Japan" signature with laurel leaf accents.
This charming and enchanting lassie would look good and bring life anywhere in your home, and make a phenomenal gift! What a fabulous present to give to someone with a nursery!
A wonderful, enchanting vintage beauty!
