Hakata Urasaki Feeding Child

This charming vintage Japanese figurine depicts a tender domestic moment of a grandmother feeding a child with chopsticks, both seated on a textured pink base. The hand-painted details bring warmth to the piece, from the grandmother’s neatly tied bun and yellow-brown robe to the child’s vibrant red kimono with floral decoration. The scene captures the essence of family life and traditional caregiving, making it a touching decorative display.

Crafted from ceramic or plaster, this figurine likely dates to the mid-20th century (c. 1950s–1960s), when “Made in Japan” export figurines were popular for their expressive and heartfelt depictions. Measuring 5 x 5 inches across and 7 inches tall, it is a mid-sized piece suitable for shelf, curio cabinet, or mantel display.

While showing light age-related wear, including minor scuffs consistent with its vintage nature, it remains in overall good condition with its colors well-preserved.
