Antique Hand-Painted Market Man & Women Figurines • Made in Japan • Mid-Century

A tender pair from another time — these hand-painted ceramic figurines, crafted in mid-century Japan, bring the warmth and softness of old cottage memories. Each figure is gently accented in faded pastels, soft cream tones, and sepia-worn shadows, creating the look of a keepsake that has lived gracefully through the decades. The boy carries his parcel with pride, while the girl holds her woven basket, dressed in shawls and bonnets reminiscent of a simpler, storybook era. Their expressive faces, muted color palette, and time-worn detailing give these pieces an unmistakable antique presence. Both retain their original “Made in Japan” marking — a hallmark of collectible post-war ceramics.
