Food Related Japanese Kokeshi, Lot of 3
Sold
Lot of three (3) vintage Japanese wooden kokeshi all relating to food.
The first has two tiny kokeshi and a couple of wooden eggs. The middle of the large egg is cutout and two dolls on a small stand are inside. The upright egg measures 2-1/4". The dolls are approximately 5/16". The large egg has a couple of dents and both eggs have discolored with time looking a bit dusty or dirty but it's more of the discoloring.
The second has a couple of radishes in a basket. The body of the radish is the face of the dolls. The tall radish is about 2". This one has age spots and does have age related dust or dirt. After all these years, it doesn't necessarily all come off. Over a period of time, the dust will set in.
The third uses walnut shells as the body and hats of the dolls. One doll measures 1-3/4" with the other a little smaller. This one is in good condition.
These are part of a family collection of folk crafts from the 50's and 60's. The father traveled to all parts of Japan on business and would bring home souvenirs for the family.
