Lot #224: Assorted Japanese Figurines, Bowl & Tea Ware

Charming mixed lot of Japanese decorative items and ceramics. Includes a large porcelain Maneki Neko (beckoning cat) in a cream glaze with floral and gold accents; a hand-painted bowl with a single interior floral motif and uneven rim, likely vintage studio pottery; a miniature sake or tea cup in original wooden box with Japanese calligraphy; a small white ceramic sleeping cat; a gold-tone lucky elephant with coins; and a delightful miniature Japanese ceramic beckoning cat (Maneki Neko) adorned with a fabric kimono-style wrap and a small bell, seated on a red brocade cushion. These petite figures are often given as charms of good fortune and prosperity, commonly displayed near entryways or used as symbolic gifts during holidays or special occasions. A sweet and eclectic grouping of Japanese-themed decor—ideal for collectors or gift-giving. Condition: Good overall. Some minor surface wear; bowl has light imperfections typical of hand-thrown ware.
