A Collection of Four Vintage Mid-Century Ceramic Lady Head Vases - A collection of four vintage ceramic figural head vases, characteristic of the Mid-Century kitsch style popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Each vase depicts a fashionable lady with closed eyes, hand-painted facial features, and elaborate hairstyles. The figures are accessorized with applied faux pearl necklaces and dangle earrings. Specific figures include one with a prominent updo, one wearing a teal-and-white striped hat with a large bow, one wearing a pink ruffled sun hat, and one featuring a visible green glove with a ring and a white ruffled collar. Visible manufacturer marks and date stamps on the bases indicate production by various import companies, including Napcoware (dated 1956), an item marked 'Japan' (dated 1958), and one marked Inarco/E-774 (dated 1963). One base retains a red foil sticker. The style is consistent with items often marketed by companies such as Ardco and Rubens. The tallest figure measures approximately 7 inches high.
