Two little angels caught mid-performance, each in a pearlized gown dusted with gold stars — one in pink, one in blue.
- Maker: ARA Plastics (attributed)
- Materials: Plastic
- Dimensions: 3" tall including wings
- Origin: British Hong Kong
- Era: Vintage, 1960s
- Condition: Good vintage condition — the blue angel's horn is shorter than original (broken) with some gown wear; the pink angel is in very good condition. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
Each angel is finished with gold wings and can stand on its own for a shelf display or hang as an ornament. They're unmarked, but research traced them to ARA Plastics, a manufacturer working out of British Hong Kong.
A charming gift for a collector, especially one who appreciates a bit of hands-on research behind the piece.
British Hong Kong became a major manufacturing hub for holiday decorations by the 1960s, producing huge volumes of inexpensive plastic ornaments for export to American and European markets. Pieces attributed to smaller manufacturers like ARA Plastics are harder to pin down than those from big-name makers, which makes identifying one like this a small victory for collectors.
