16 Animal and Angel Figurines, Assorted Japan Marked Porcelain and Ceramic Miniatures, 20th Century

Description

This lot offers a charming assortment of 16 animal and angel-themed miniature figurines, primarily crafted from porcelain and ceramic. Many are stamped "Japan" on the base, reflecting mid-20th century Japanese export production. The collection spans a diverse menagerie, including birds (such as cardinals and seagulls), mammals (like a lion, elephant, squirrel, cat, several dogs, and a whimsical skunk in a dress), and a notable angel paired with a lion and lamb. Each piece reflects hand-painted details and individual expressions, with some exhibiting signs of age or minor wear. Sizes generally range from about 1 to 3 inches. This mixed group epitomizes the collectible Japanese miniatures popular in mid-century America, and is ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage ceramics and figural art.
