Porcelain angel figurine with gold accents
History
This porcelain angel figurine dates to the mid-20th century, likely from the 1950s, when decorative cherub and angel figurines became popular home decor items. It features the characteristic gold accents and sweet, childlike facial expression typical of this era of decorative ceramics. These angel figurines were particularly popular as Christmas ornaments, nursery decorations, and as part of religious-themed collections. Collectors of mid-century ceramics and religious memorabilia value these pieces for their nostalgic charm and representation of post-war American and Japanese ceramic production. The gold accents and delicate design make it appealing to collectors of vintage Christmas decorations and religious figurines.
