1950s Tin Lithograph Child’s Dish Set – “Pony Tail” Cartoon Plates, Japan Export (6 Pc)
This vintage 6-piece child’s dish set features the mid-century cartoon character “Pony Tail,” a playful ponytailed girl depicted in four unique illustrations across square and round tin litho plates. Produced in Japan during the 1950s postwar export boom, these dishes were part of a larger playtime set designed to mimic adult tableware in miniature form.
Each piece is unmarked on the reverse. The graphics remain bright and vivid, with light surface wear, edge scratching, and minor rust typical of age and play.
