Up for sale is a beautiful vintage Japanese Maneki Neko (Lucky Cat / Beckoning Cat) ceramic coin bank. This mid-sized figurine features a stunning iridescent, pearlized lusterware glaze that beautifully reflects pastel rainbow colors under the light. It is traditionally decorated with painted red accents on the ears, a vibrant glittery green bib, a red bow collar, and a hand-painted gold \"Koban\" coin (prosperity medallion). The left paw is raised, which traditionally serves to beckon customers, friends, and good fortune into a home or business. **Dimensions:**
- Height: Approximately 8 inches
- Width: Approximately 5 inches**Condition:**
Pre-owned vintage condition. There is minor paint loss and surface wear consistent with age, notably on the red painted tips of the
ears and edges of the bib, which adds to its retro charm. The structural integrity is excellent with no chips, cracks, or deep crazing. Please note that the original bottom coin plug/stopper is missing (as shown in photos). Please review all high-resolution pictures for exact cosmetic details before purchasing.
