About the Maker
Napco (originally founded in Bedford, Ohio in 1938) is highly renowned among vintage collectors for producing mid-century ceramic giftware, planters, and anthropomorphic animal figurines. Pieces from this specific \"Meadow Mouse\" series were produced around the 1970s (often manufactured in Japan or Taiwan for the US market) and remain popular choices for cottagecore and nostalgic nurseries.
The figurine is made of bisque porcelain (also commonly referred to as ceramic).
Unlike glossy porcelain, bisque ceramic is fired in a kiln without a glassy glaze coating, which gives the piece its signature smooth, matte texture and soft, muted pastel finish
