Description :

An elegant vintage porcelain vanity set consisting of a handled dresser tray, a lidded powder jar with metal lid, and a matching lidded trinket box, all decorated in a soft ivory glaze with hand-painted floral motifs and molded scrollwork. The gently shaded peach, pink, and green blossoms, scalloped rims, and curving forms reflect a Victorian revival aesthetic inspired by R.S. Prussia–style porcelain.

Produced in Japan during the mid-20th century, this coordinated trio represents decorative vanity ware made in homage to earlier European porcelain styles. The powder jar’s fitted metal lid further evokes the look of earlier silverplate-mounted milk glass jars, while the porcelain forms and decoration remain distinctly vintage Japanese export pieces.

A cohesive and attractive set ideal for display on a dressing table, vanity, or as part of a curated vintage porcelain collection.
