Offered is a lot of eight vintage Japanese chalkware figurines depicting a variety of traditional figures and scenes, including seated and standing men, musicians, a child, a woman with a stringed instrument, a mother with child, and other character studies. Several retain their original "Made in Japan" and "Enterprise Exclusive" labels, with one example bearing an ESD Japan mark. These hand-painted mid-century decorative figures exhibit expected age-related wear, including paint loss, chips, cracks, repairs, and areas of damage, most notably to the standing figure and the seated man with the straw hat. Despite the condition issues, this is an appealing decorative group for collectors of vintage Japanese export ceramics, chalkware, or mid-century figural décor. Sold as a single lot of eight pieces. Approx. dimensions (in): 9.25 x 4.75 x 3.25 (biggest piece).
