Both shoes feature a white and pale yellow body with gold-tone trim and elaborate dimensional applied floral decoration. Cascading purple flowers, green leaves, bright red accents and applied white bows decorate the fronts.
Both pieces are marked on the underside:
BECKWITH CHINA
HAND PAINTED
JAPAN
These appear to be two left-shoe figurines rather than a traditional matched left-and-right pair.
Approximate measurements of each:
- Toe to heel: 3.5\"
- Heel to top of shoe: 2.75\"
- Opening: approximately 1\" across
Condition:
Vintage pre-owned condition with damage to the delicate applied decoration on both shoes. Several flower petals and portions of the dimensional decorations have chips/losses, with one shoe exhibiting more damage than the other. There is also age-related wear to the gold trim and other minor surface wear.
The damage has been photographed closely and is reflected in the price. Please review all photographs carefully for exact condition before purchasing.
Despite the losses, these remain wonderfully decorative examples of vintage Japanese applied-flower porcelain and display beautifully as a pair.
