Pam!

This is "Pam!" A most highly sought after Lady Head Vase! My friend, Stacey, has sent me the photo of her special "Pam!"; who is as exquisite, as she is rare!

Tidbit - Lady Head Vases can be addictive! Enough to be tiddictive about! LOL!

They are pottery "vase" pieces dating back to the 1940 and 1950 era (and later); and were originally from Japan. There are various pottery companies; ie in the United States...Napco, Enesco, Ruebens, etc. that produced these little wonders! The Ladies are of all sizes - anywhere from 3" to 10" approx. Generally, 3 sizes - miniature / small (3" (or a tidbit tinier!) to 4.5" tall), medium (5" to 6" tall); and the larger ones (7" to 10" tall +). These unique "gems of Ladies" were a nice added touch to florist shops; and for "special occasions," bouquets of flowers would be assembled in these unique "hole in the head" vases; and then sent / delivered to whomever! I LOVE the Ladies with the "pearl earrings and the pearl necklaces!" Just awesome! Of course, if you are a Lady Head Vase collector, (or on the road, to becoming one! - remember, more than one, is considered a "collection!" LOL!) this may be a fun read! I welcome your comments and stories you wish to share about Head Vase collecting; or any other collections that you are "crazy about!"

Ultimately, these Ladies, have become very collectible over time. There are Newsletters, Books on the subject,(you can track on Google), they are being sold on Ebay, and in Antique Stores etc etc etc! AND THE FUN PART - THERE IS EVEN A HEAD VASE CONVENTION! held in Orlando, Florida every January!!! So, this is a "SERIOUS" adventure, enterprise, investment!(whatever category fits!) It is so exciting to meet "collectors," who are passionate about what they "collect!" Makes life even more interesting! Right?


Tidbit - Whatever your collection is; be it re: lady head vases, toby jugs, thimbles, art, china, silver, plates, etc. take time out every so often, to appreciate and ENJOY what you have already gathered over the hours, days, weeks, months, years! The fun is also, how you "found your piece(s);" whom you have met, the "tales!" etc. all add to the mix, in the "spice of life!"
