Very - Cute! These photo's do not do this piece justice. This was purchased at an auction sale. I do not know ANY history on this item except what was stated at the auction. It was stated this was a "vintage piece Made in Japan", dated approximately '1920'.
It was purchased from an estate of a 90 year old lady. There were several porcelain pieces, doll's and other collectibles. This is just another example of the items I bid on. I've had this piece displayed for about 8 years.
REMEMBER!! Photo's do not do THIS PIECE justice.
I did not see any breaks, cracks or chips. I did not see any missing gold on the rim or the scene.
