Vintage Porcelain Cherub and Floral Cornucopia Posy Vase

A decorative porcelain miniature vase featuring a neoclassical cherub or putti leaning against a textured, horn-shaped cornucopia vessel. The piece is constructed from slip-cast white porcelain with a high-gloss glaze finish. Physically, it is adorned with hand-applied (applied-work) three-dimensional porcelain roses in shades of pink and magenta, accompanied by green-washed leaves and tiny blue florets. The rim of the cornucopia and the base of the figure's foot feature hand-painted gold gilt accents, which show significant rubbing and loss consistent with mid-20th-century age. The cherub's facial features—including the eyes, eyebrows, and lips—are hand-painted with delicate brushwork. In terms of condition, there are visible 'flea bites' and small chips on the delicate edges of the rose petals, which is common for this type of fragile applied porcelain. The overall style is reminiscent of Dresden or German Meissen-style decorative arts, likely dating from the 1940s to 1960s, a period when such 'florals and figures' giftware was popular in Japan and occupied Germany. No maker's mark is visible on the upper surface, though such pieces often originally bore gold foil stickers or stamped marks on the underside of the base. The quality is indicative of mass-produced mid-century decorative collectibles rather than studio fine art.
