Product Details

This item is a vintage porcelain "piano baby" figurine, typically featuring a hand-painted bisque finish, a pastel dress, and a ruffled bonnet. History & Purpose: Popular from roughly 1880 to the 1930s, these functional weights were used on grand pianos to hold velvet or silk piano scarves/throws in place. The "Made in Taiwan" gold foil sticker indicates this is a mid-century reproduction rather than an early 19th-century antique. Maker and Production EraEra: Circa 1970s–1980s. During this time, manufacturing for giftware brands shifted heavily to Taiwan. Style: It mimics the 1950s Japanese bisque style popularized by companies like Lefton, Arnart, and Enesco. Brand: These specific foil sticker pieces were typically distributed by unbranded export companies or mass-market giftware importers.
