Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:45077158 | Theme: Angels |
| Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan |
This auction is for a pair of sweet, vintage hand-painted Shafford Japan Dancing/ Kicking Angel Figurines, along with a matching Dancing Angel Planter/ Vase. All 3 Angels measure approx. 5 and 1/4” high. The planter itself is 2 and 3/4” high by 3 and 1/4” wide by 2” deep ( front to back). One Angel and the planter Angel are wearing red striped gowns; the 3rd Angel is wearing a brown or possibly dark purple striped gown. All of them have gold- trimmed wings and gold slippers. Th...e two figurines have tube-shaped vases in their hands that are filled with tiny artificial flowers. The planter Angel has a bouquet of yellow ceramic flowers. All three items are in very good condition without chips, nicks, cracks, or flea bites. The planter Angel has a sortof line or crack in the glaze? that runs partially around her neck, but it does not appear to be a repair. The artificial flowers are not in real great shape, but they can be replaced. All three angels have age-related crazing in the glaze. Please view the photos for details of the condition. I believe these are somewhat harder-to-find 1950’s era Shafford Angels, especially the planter piece. They display really well. Thanks for looking. Please email any questions.
