Rare Vintage Japan Geisha Lady Head Vase Black Robe Gold Madame Butterfly MCM

Beautiful vintage Made in Japan (possibly Lee Wards) ceramic geisha lady head vase, featuring an elegant woman with glossy black hair, a dramatic black robe, hand-painted facial details, and gold accents. This example is especially desirable for its uncommon black colorway. Her elaborate hairstyle is decorated with colorful floral ornaments in pink, green, white, and gold, along with iridescent glaze details that catch the light beautifully. * Measures approximately 5.5 inches tall * Uncommon black-robed color variation * Glazed ceramic with hand-painted details * Original red-and-gold Made in Japan foil label Number 1957 handwritten on the underside * Maker unknown ( possibly Lee Wards) Very good vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs noted. Fine age-related crazing is present, particularly on the ivory-colored areas and underside. Light wear may be present to some of the hand-painted gold accents. Please review all photos carefully.
