Five and a half inches tall, hand painted, and in excellent condition — no crazing, no chips or cracks, all fingers intact. The Wales foil sticker is long gone (they almost always were), but the quality is unmistakable. She works beautifully as a small bud vase, a scissors or teaspoon holder at a garden party table, or simply as a figurine on a shelf — she's suited for all of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWales was a trademark first used in 1950 by New York Merchandise Co., 32 W. 23rd St., New York, and last renewed in 1975. Wales was an importer rather than a manufacturer — the pieces were sourced from various unnamed makers in Japan. Wales pieces from the 1950s are collected for their quality and the particular charm of their mid-century Japanese porcelain craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA lovely gift, a cottage or grandmillennial shelf addition, or a sweet find for a Wales Japan or figural vase collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Wales Japan (New York Merchandise Co., importer; Japanese manufacturer unknown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1950s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Porcelain, hand painted, hand applied flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 5.5\" tall × 3.5\" wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Excellent vintage.
