Condition Report:
Excellent vintage condition given their age. The glossy ceramic glaze remains bright and vibrant. The delicate faux fur tails and hair tufts are completely attached and clean (they do shed a bit.) No major structural chips, cracks, or repairs. Please inspect the high-definition photos carefully to verify condition details, as they act as part of the item description. The flowers are a bit dusty as shown.
Beautifully preserved with period-correct, charming factory hand-painting imperfections native to 1950s Japanese ceramics. Please view all photos to appreciate their unique vintage character.
