She has a Hummel-like quality without being a copy of anything; she's simply a girl who found a good spot to read. Stamped on the bottom: \"Made in Occupied Japan,\" which dates her precisely to the postwar Allied occupation, between 1945 and 1952. Excellent condition for a piece of this age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Occupied Japan\" mark was required by Allied authorities on all Japanese exports during the occupation period — pieces marked simply \"Japan\" predate or postdate this window. It's a collector's mark that tells you exactly when something was made, and pieces from this era are among the most sought after in Japanese export porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA lovely piece for an Occupied Japan collector, a book lover's shelf, a farmhouse or cottage interior, or anyone who appreciates a small figurine with a very specific and genuine history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Unknown, Made in Occupied Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1945–1952 (per bottom stamp)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Porcelain, hand painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 4.5\" tall × 3.125\" long × 1.75\" deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Very good vintage.
