An extraordinarily rare glass ornament — a hand-painted parrot perched in his cage on one side, a raised star on the other.
Marked "Made in Occupied Japan," this round, flat-sided ornament dates to the brief postwar period between 1945 and 1952, making it a genuine piece of mid-century holiday history. Collectors prize these for their rarity, debossed detail, and the soft shimmer of true mercury glass.
An exceptional find for a serious collector, and a striking, conversation-piece addition to any vintage tree.
