While scouring one of my favorite charity shops , I came across some figurines for Fifty-cents no less that are stamped with "occupied Japan" on the bottom. I understand that these were made after the WWII ended until 1952. They are really collector's items so I was thrilled to find them. The above one is my favorite I think!
This is a beautiful duck planter which I paid a little more for but loved it!
The girl with a rabbit, china plate with basket and watering can are so cute and what about the DOG drinking from a bowl! These make me happy!
This last one is an oriental vase and also was made in Occupied Japan.

Thank you so much for your kind comment about the mirror. I had such a hard time deciding where to hang it.

They are so darling!!!! what a great collection. Thanks for sharing - and Lee, have a Merry Merry!!!
Isn't Occupied Japan stuff the cutest? I love the little girl w/ the rabbit! Also LOVE the rabbit plate. My hubby would like that golfing Santa. When we lived in SC, we had those green lizards on our front porch & deck. Our movers joked that one would probably come in & get in a box while they were loading the truck (it was 105 degrees when we moved). I was afraid I would have them jumping out at me w/ every new box I opened. They probably couldn't have survived the heat. Merry Christmas!
P.S. I also LOVE those older Christmas plates...don't think they're "vintage" yet, are they? They're really classic!
these are incredible!
Genial dispatch and this mail helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you for your information.
This can't succeed as a matter of fact, that is exactly what I believe.
