Step right into a mid-century Christmas fairytale with this utterly enchanting Holt Howard My Fair Lady Head Vase Candleholder, straight from 1959 Japan.

She’s the picture of holiday charm, powdered in dreamy blue and white eyeshadow, with a perfectly puckered heart-shaped red mouth that feels ready to whisper Christmas wishes. Her coiffed hair is adorned with festive holly, mistletoe, and bright berries, while her blouse collar joins the celebration in full seasonal flair.

Adding just the right touch of sparkle, she still wears her original mercury glass gold ornament earrings (one with a bit of age-related wear on the back where a portion is missing, see photos 4, 5, 6) and a delicate pearl necklace, because even holiday icons deserve their jewels.

Condition:

She’s in lovely vintage condition with no chips or cracks , just the charming quirks you’d expect from a well-loved treasure of her era. You’ll notice some light crazing, glaze pops, and areas of overpaint typical of 1950s Japanese ceramics, all adding to her character. Her original tag and 1959 backstamp are still intact, a rare and delightful bonus!
