Lefton 'Golden Pheasant' Porcelain Vase
Vintage Collectible Porcelain

Lefton 'Golden Pheasant' Porcelain Vase

This is a vintage porcelain ceramic vessel, likely a vase or ginger jar, primarily white glazed with a bulbous circular body. The bottom of the piece features a prominent gold foil label indicating it is from the 'Lefton China' collection, specifically 'Hand Painted'. Additionally, there is a circular green underglaze stamp that reads 'COPYRIGHT BY GEO. Z. LEFTON', a mark typically used by the company mid-century (circa 1950s-1960s). The item is constructed from high-fired ceramic porcelain. In terms of condition, the base shows notable signs of age and wear including surface dirt, small chips or 'flea bites' on the unglazed foot rim, and some fading to the green manufacturer's stamp. The white glaze appears otherwise glossy, though the primary decorative motif on the reverse (likely the Golden Pheasant design common to this line) is not visible in this specific angle. The craftsmanship is indicative of mass-produced Japanese export porcelain from the post-WWII era, known for its delicate hand-painted details and gold-foil labeling. The unglazed foot ring shows a darkened patina from contact with surfaces over time.
