Sweet as a springtime memory, this tiny porcelain figural vase or toothpick holder captures the innocence and artistry of a bygone era. Made during the Occupied Japan years (1945?1952), this charming piece features a rosy-cheeked little girl in a red dress, standing beside a dainty hand-painted vessel adorned with a blue tulip. Crafted in post-war Japan during a time of cultural rebuilding and international exchange, these delicate export ceramics served as both cheerful curiosities and small symbols of resilience. Today, they offer collectors a window into history ? as well as a charming accent for any shelf, shadow box, or vintage-themed display.
