Vintage Josef Originals Ceramic Tiny Mini Snail Figurine Anthropomorphic Japan For Sale

Vintage Josef Originals anthropomorphic snail figurines are highly collectible mid-century ceramic miniatures manufactured in Japan during the 1960s. Typically measuring between 0.88 and 1.5 inches in height, these kitschy figurines feature hand-painted details, signature large expressive eyes, green or brightly colored bodies, and iridescent shells often accented with gold trim. Depending on the specific character (such as the Father, Mother, Sister, or rare \"Snail in a Bonnet\" variant), individual pieces range in value from $20 to $35.This is from a family estate and has been sitting on a shelf for almost 70 years. It was dusty which I wiped away but I didn\'t want to forcefully scrub as not sure the paint would remain. So it\'s a bit dirty if you wish to \"wash\" it. It\'s very tiny and measures less than an inch tall.
