Rare Set of Ceramic Japanese Hina Figures, Japan, c. 1970–1980

Rare set of two ceramic Japanese Hina figures, presumably dating from the 1970s–1980s, presented in their original storage box.

Dimensions per figure: height 6 cm, width 16 cm, depth 7 cm.

The figures have a beautifully elegant, low form with softly rounded volumes. Their faces are serene and minimal, with closed eyes and a calm, understated expression. The wide, dark-glazed hair sections have a fine textured relief, while the kimono forms are finished in soft grey-green and beige tones with natural speckles in the glaze.

Subtle gold accents on the fans and kimono details give the set a refined, festive character. The combination of raw ceramic texture, soft colours and delicate glossy details creates a distinctly Japanese atmosphere: quiet, elegant and poetic.

The underside is covered with washi paper and bears a maker’s stamp. The stamp is visible, but cannot be reliably identified.

The set is in perfect condition. The original box is included.
