Vintage Mid-Century Lady Head Vases in Top Hats

This is a pair of vintage ceramic lady head vases, measuring approximately 7 inches in height. The figures are styled in the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, likely dating from the 1950s or 1960s. Each vase features a high-glaze ceramic construction with hand-painted details. One figure is accented in a forest green color scheme (hat and base), while the other is in a classic black. The women are depicted with blonde hair flowing over one shoulder, adorned with molded-in pearl-style necklaces, pearl-style bracelets on their raised hands, and faux-pearl dangle earrings. Their facial features include heavy black eyelashes, red lips, and delicate rosy cheeks. The 'hats' function as the vessels for flowers, with hollow openings at the top. The craftsmanship shows typical production quality for mass-market decorative ceramics of the era, such as those made by companies like Napco, Lefton, or Rubens. Condition-wise, the figures show minor shelf wear on the bases and slight aging to the faux pearl accessories. No major chips or cracks are immediately visible, though fine surface crazing is common in pieces of this age.
