A charming piece of mid-century decor! This is a vintage porcelain horse-drawn carriage figurine, stamped "Made in Japan" on the bottom, dating back to the 1950s. Originally designed as a lamp, the lighting fixture is no longer present, making it a unique decorative figurine. The scene features a four-horse team pulling a carriage with a seated driver. The figurine is beautifully hand-painted and adorned with delicate gold curlicue accents and enhancements. Adding to the scene is a lady appearing to exit the carriage, assisted by a figure who could be a gentleman or footman. The style of the clothing suggests either an American Colonial or French Provincial influence. This is a wonderful piece for collectors of vintage porcelain or those who appreciate unique decorative items.
