This is an impressive display of vintage Hinamatsuri dolls in great pre-owned vintage condition. These Hina dolls honor the Japanese Girls’ Day festival on March 3. The traditionally dressed Emperor and Empress dolls reside on the top tier in a position of honor. They are housed within a glass and wood display case that plays music and is lit with heat turning lamps. This set is definitely vintage but we are not sure of the exact era.
The dolls are very well made with gorgeous faces and nice detail in the clothing, which is made of different fine brocades and silk. Each doll sits on a platform and is surrounded by traditional accessories. The heat lamps start to spin once plugged in for a few moments with the spinning shade turning both the design and also causing the light’s color to change in a rainbow of color effect. The box is a music box with the music triggered by turning the golden toned knob in the middle bottom of the base. (Sorry that we are not sure the name of the musical piece played.)
All accessories pictured are included. The display case opens from the front so that the dolls and accessories can be rearranged. The case is sized at 32.5” wide x 15.5” deep x 22” tall. Each doll sitson abase that is 8.5\" wide each and separately (not including base or extended hair pieces) the dolls are about 7.5\" tall.
This set is in great pre-owned vintage condition. The dolls have no damage or signs of excessive wear. They have either been kept as display pieces or played with very carefully. One accessory piece, one of the tea kettles, had a broken handle that was repaired. The display case is also in great condition with just a few scuff marks and scratches as shown in pictures. The display plugs in, cord is in good condition with no damage and both the heat spinning lights and music working beautifully as intended to add extra quality to the piece. Please see pictures for visual clarity of the condition. Dolls are attached to base which are attached to the tier platform. Most accessories are also attached to platform and cannot be removed.
