I am cleaning out my kokeshi/toy collection and selling these pieces as a set. Please understand that they are old, but lovely pieces. Some have damage and all have signs of wear from display/use. The "dog" toy in the middle may or may not be missing a piece. I've not come across another one for verification. I use the "tail" in the back to hold the pull string; it rolls as intended. One of the taller kokeshi by Umeki Shuichi leans a bit.
Craftsmen include: UmekiShuichi, Kobayashi Seitaro, Hiraga Kenjiro, Agatsuma Isamu. The kappa pieces are signed but I can't reliably recall who the signature belongs to and the others are unsigned.
Condition: Various conditions ranging from GUVC to FUVC (Good Used Vintage Condition to FUVC Fair Used Vintage Condition).
Amateur Inspection: This set includes kokeshi that have fading, darkening, staining, peeling/chipping of paint & wax finish, paint transfer stains, floating wax, dents,cracks,scratches, water spots and visible glue residue.
Please check the photos carefully, ZOOM IN, for any noted conditions and to check for additional conditions, for which you may be sensitive, before purchasing.The photos are an extension of the description. Due to lighting and viewing devices, colors may vary.
Take note that warmer weather has arrived.This heat, in addition to the vibration during the delivery process, can soften old glue and allow for adhesion failure.This is more common with older kokeshi and/or when a sparse amount of glue is present. Please utilize wood glue in this instance.
Please reach out if you have any questions. This is a heavy box (9lbs) so shipping may be a bit higher based on our location.
