This is a vintage hand-painted porcelain pincushion in the shape of a Colonial/English man sitting on a wall. The item was made in Japan and measures 3 3/4 inches in size. It features an image of a man playing a lyre and is likely from the 1930s to now. The item is original and not a reproduction, and has not been modified. It is a collectible item that would be perfect for anyone interested in sewing and pincushions. There are some manufacturing imperfections : over paint on hair, holes around pincushion and tiny raised porcelain bubbles on the corner, see pictures. P
