Two choir boys in classic red and white gowns with red bow ties, both still wearing their original "Wales Japan" foil stickers — a pleasing pair, taller than most choir figurines of this era.
Maker: Wales Japan (New York Merchandise Co.)
Materials: Porcelain, hand-painted
Dimensions: Both approx. 5.0" tall x 1.75" wide
Origin: Japan
Era: Vintage, 1950s–1960s (original Wales stickers intact)
Condition: Good — color loss on the red gowns, photographed; otherwise good shape for their age. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
Hand painted faces are full of seasonal cheer, and the pair makes a natural centerpiece for a holiday vignette.
A charming pair for a Christmas collection, a holiday mantel, or a collector who appreciates a piece that still carries its original label.
The Wales trademark — a crown with the Wales name — was first used in 1950 by New York Merchandise Co. of West 23rd Street, New York, and last renewed in 1975. Wales was an importer rather than a manufacturer, sourcing pieces from various Japanese factories and distributing them through American gift and department stores.
