Two Vintage Japanese Geisha Dolls, C20th
Two Vintage Japanese Geisha Dolls, the first dressed in an elaborate floral kimono and holding a headdress with flowing hair, the second slightly smaller and dressed in a simpler robe decorated with a stylised river scene and calligraphy; she holds a musical instrument and the base is signed. These are excellent examples of the rather charming dolls made in Japan after the 1950s and probably date to the 1980s. Probably bought by tourists, they are now often found in the West and have an obvious appeal.Size: | Larger: Ht 21.5cm (max); Base 10.5cm x 7.5cm Smaller : Ht 17cm (max); Base 9cm x 5.8cm |
