Pair of Hand Painted Ceramic Hula Girl & Ukele Boy Souvenir Figurines

About the Item

The 1940s Pair of Ceramic Japanese Hand-Painted Hula Girl & Ukulele Boy Souvenir Figurines are vintage collectibles that capture the charm of Hawaiian culture from the mid-century era. Both figurines are seated and intended to be displayed together. Hula Girl: (3.1 x 2.25 x 2.5) She sits gracefully with her legs folded to the side, wearing a hand-painted grass skirt. Around her neck is a unique lei made from vintage fuzzy feather fabric, adding a soft, textured touch to her design. Her facial features are delicately hand-painted, giving her a calm, serene expression, while her loose black hair completes her tropical look. Ukulele Boy: ( 4 x 3x 2) Beside her sits the boy, joyfully playing a hand-painted ukulele. He is dressed in vibrant island clothing and wears a fuzzy feather fabric lei, mirroring the hula girls. His expression is joyful as if he's serenading her, adding a playful and dynamic element to the pair. Although the original "Japan" tag that once identified the figurines’ origin is now gone, these pieces were likely marked as such, as many Japanese-made ceramics from the era were labeled for export. Despite the missing sticker, the hand-painted details, feather-fabric leis, and overall craftsmanship make these figurines a beautiful and nostalgic representation of Hawaiian-themed souvenirs from the 1940s.
