SALE Ucagco Victorian Style Child Head Vase

$52 USD SaleSALE Ucagco Victorian Style Child Head Vase

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Ucagco
This pretty vase has soft muted colors and a Victorian flair with the ruffled sleeves and scalloped bonnet. She is not as common as some of the other Victorian styled Ucagco lady vases out there. Her shoulder length hair feathers back of her face to show of her pretty eyes and peaches and cream complexion. This is another one of those vases that is fun to display from a variety of angles. She looks very cute displayed with other similar style sisters (see the last picture) that are also for sale ...
SALE 7” Teen Head Vase w/ Stewardess Neck Scarf

$156 USD SaleSALE 7” Teen Head Vase w/ Stewardess Neck Scarf

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Teen
This pretty teen is not rare in in her 5 ½” size but she is extremely hard to find in this gorgeous 7" size. It is difficult to describe to you how stunning she is compared to her little sister. Her big blues just pop and I love her turned up pigtails. Her yellow scarf is tied perfectly around her neck and is a nice contrast against her matte purple shirt. She appears larger to me than a typical 7” due to her wide hairdo—very generous in size all the way around. She will please the picky ...
SALE 7” Rare Stunning Teen Head Vase w/ Newsboy Cap

$300 USD SaleSALE 7” Rare Stunning Teen Head Vase w/ Newsboy Cap

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Teen
This gorgeous teenager has the largest puppy dog eyes. Her long sleek hair flows down from underneath her newsboy cap. Interesting how this retro late 60’s look is very much in again—in fact she may look like your own teenage daughter in the year 2007! It is difficult for me to let this teen go for I know she may never cross my path again...but my loss can be your gain! Condition: Very good condition having no chips or cracks. She did have her teal sweater repainted. She has mostly clear overall ...
SALE 7” Relpo Lady Head Vase w/ Large Floppy Hat & Bow

$200 USD SaleSALE 7” Relpo Lady Head Vase w/ Large Floppy Hat & Bow

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Relpo
I have not seen this pretty lady up for sale in quite some time. She sports a very chic look in her floppy bonnet with a textured floral theme. Her shoulder length hair is brushed over to one side and shows off the pearl earring and necklace. A stunning lady that will be an asset to your collection. Condition: Excellent condition having no chips or cracks. Appears to have been some slight touch ups to a few paint flakes on her bow—had to look through a loupe to verify since the the color match ...
SALE Angel Praying Lady Head Vase Planter

$39 USD SaleSALE Angel Praying Lady Head Vase Planter

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Japan:Angel
This angelic woman or Madonna is reaching out with healing or praying hands. She has a halo of golden stars above her head. Her long hair cascades down her shoulders and she, of course, wears a golden cross around her neck. In all of my years of collecting and selling, I may have had her only once before and I am not even sure I had this exact one. So she is rather hard to come by. She has a full size planter box behind her although she resembles the head vases with extended eyelashes and three ...
SALE Abigail Heads Up Cameo Girls Head Vase

$280 USD SaleSALE Abigail Heads Up Cameo Girls Head Vase

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Cameo Girl:Abigail:Heads Up
This gorgeous head vase was created to commemorate the 10th annual head vase convention back in 2002. She also marked an era of beautiful head vases designed by artist Debby Kaspari that would disappear from the shelves into collectors homes until she left the United Design company back in 2005. Ten beautiful and fascinating women were created as they might have appeared over two centuries of American fashion, from 1809 to 1998. Abigail is dressed in a skimmer hat and pearls to match the lady ...
SALE Christmas Angel Head Vase Pair

$15 USD SaleSALE Christmas Angel Head Vase Pair

Pottery:Head Vase:Holiday,Seasonal:Angels
These cute little angels almost look like wall pockets because they have flat back to them and with the right hanger they would be adorable on the wall as well as free standing. One of the angles can be found pictured in Dave Barron’s book Collecting Head Vases on page 240. I can also see them being used as a place card or candy holder for the holidays. Have fun displaying them anywhere! Condition: Very good condition having no chips, cracks or crazing. Some minor paint wear. Measurements: 2 ¾” ...
SALE Cute Set of Enesco Place Card Holders / Head Vases

$50 USD SaleSALE Cute Set of Enesco Place Card Holders / Head Vases

Pottery:Head Vase:Place Card Holder
These cute little ladies in fancy bonnets will happily hold your seat for you! A fun way to decorate your table for the holidays, parties or anytime at all! The pastel and spring time colors are perfect for use around the Easter holiday or how cute would they be for a young girl's party? Use alone or place silk flowers in the vase portion for further decoration. I also think they would be cute holding napkins or a special serving spoon etc…just get creative! Condition: Very good condition having ...
SALE Darling Napco Lady Head Vase in Black

$44 USD SaleSALE Darling Napco Lady Head Vase in Black

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Napco
This is another classic style that Napco created and they filled the demand by creating several sizes and variations of her. Great confident (almost snooty) pose. This lady wears a black glove—some of her sisters can be found without a glove. I love her petite 5 ¼” size—she is a great fit anywhere! Condition: Excellent condition having no chips or cracks. Clear overall crazing in her matte finish. Measurements: 5 ½” Age: 1950’s Markings: C569/MB Napco 1959 National Potteries Made in Japan ...
SALE Enesco Sophisticated Lady Head Vase Deluxe

$140 USD SaleSALE Enesco Sophisticated Lady Head Vase Deluxe

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Enesco:Sophisticated Lady Deluxe
Now this isn’t any ordinary lady…she was referred to as the Sophisticated Deluxe in Enesco’s original advertisement. And she certainly has an air of importance and sophistication with her slender bouffant hair revealing her long neck draped in pearls with drop pearl earrings tumbling down. Absolutely beautiful matte finish. Condition: Excellent condition having no chips, cracks or crazing. A few very minor scuffs or rubs noticed on her dress. Small speck in the pottery on her hand and a small ...
SALE Gloria Swanson Lady Head Vase

$60 USD SaleSALE Gloria Swanson Lady Head Vase

Pottery:Head Vase:Celebrity:Gloria Swanson
This lady is one of the wonderful celebrity head vases that is said to be modeled after Gloria Swanson. She is full of detail from her facial expression to her delicate petal roses. Have fun creating your own celebrity showcase as there are several celebrity heads to choose from such as Carol Channing, Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, Jackie Kennedy and more! Except for the blonde hair she kind of has a Hawaiian look to her with her flowing hair with floral accent, sculpted face, and rose collar ...
SALE Glamorous Pink Retro Lady Head Vase

$47 USD SaleSALE Glamorous Pink Retro Lady Head Vase

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Japan
This lady is fabulous when she is found in perfect condition like this. Her facial features are prominent and she is very impressive in stature. Her modest pink outfit cried out for a choker though I do not believe that she originally came with pearls like some of the ladies (note that even her earrings are applied and painted). Her atomic gold disc choker was added for a special touch and can easily be removed if desired—but I love it! Condition: Excellent condition having no chips, cracks or ...
SALE Golden 7” Teen Head Vase w Flower Shop Label

$132 USD SaleSALE Golden 7” Teen Head Vase w Flower Shop Label

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Teen
This teen has fallen of the edge of the earth lately. I have not come across her in quite some time. Her hair is the best—all those wispy curls framing her face and accented with a matching hair bow. The color of her dress is golden—kind of like a mustard yellow –definitely a 60’s gal! A collector treat in her fine condition. And, the original flower shop tag is always a plus. This lady was purchased from the Regency Flower Shop in Dearborn MI. Condition: Excellent condition. The paint is ...
SALE Inarco Teen Lady Head Vase w/ Curly Updo

$76 USD SaleSALE Inarco Teen Lady Head Vase w/ Curly Updo

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Teen:Inarco
This sweet teen is always fun to find with that great curly updo that shows off her dangling pearl earrings. Her lovely matte finish also makes her very desirable among collectors. Condition: Excellent condition. Very clean. There are no cracks or chips. Only a tad of crazing on the back of her dress and neck—but mostly she is craze free. Measurements: 5 ½” Markings: Inarco E3662 Age: 1960’s Shipping: Priority or Parcel Post mail is available and is calculated by zip code. Fedex Ground may also ...
SALE Impressive 9” Lady Head Vase w Updo & Shoulder Bow

$120 USD SaleSALE Impressive 9” Lady Head Vase w Updo & Shoulder Bow

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Napco
This classy lady is always a collector’s favorite and she doesn’t come around often in his jumbo size. This is the largest size she was made in and it certainly adds to her alluring appeal. If your collection has been begging for some height you will adore her! Condition: Excellent condition having no chips or cracks. Crazing is clear and minimal and is really only noticed on the front and back of her neck as well as the back of her hair. Her face is unscathed with a flawless complexion. Her ...
SALE Large Napco Lady Head Vase in Pretty Pink

$68 USD SaleSALE Large Napco Lady Head Vase in Pretty Pink

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Napco
This pretty lady is a collector favorite with her pretty made up eyes just like the vintage Barbie! She has a pretty matte finish that is very clean. Her previous owner decide to repaint her dress and it didn’t look very good so I “redressed her” in a rare pearlescent pink color and added a few rhinestones to her brooch. Of course—a lady from this era has to make sure her lipstick is a perfect match and she is no exception with a slightly darker hue than her dress! Condition: Excellent condition ...
SALE Large Relpo Lady Head Vase w Funky Pink Rose Hat

$100 USD SaleSALE Large Relpo Lady Head Vase w Funky Pink Rose Hat

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Relpo
If you are looking for a lady with character this large 7” lady will add interest and variety to your collection. She is obviously the type that talks with her hands as her gloved hands are posed in a conversational gesture. Her hat is phenomenal with texturized roses and a few applied roses as well. This lady has become a bit more rare over the last couple years or so. I have not seen a recent example of her in awhile especially in this large size. Condition: Excellent condition having no chips ...
SALE Large Vogue Napco Lady Head Vase w Cool Vintage Hat

$76 USD SaleSALE Large Vogue Napco Lady Head Vase w Cool Vintage Hat

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Napco
This lady has a chic look with her short bobbed hair and floppy hat. Her sweater has a quilted design and a turtleneck collar in a contrasting color. A pouty mouth and sultry eyes complete her look. Her earrings were not original and after paging through some of my old Vogue magazines from the 60’s I thought these rhinestone button earrings and Coro brooch were much more appropriate for the fashion. They are held in place with a putty and therefore are removable if desired. Or, just ask and I ...
SALE Napco Porcelain Child Head Vase

$36 USD SaleSALE Napco Porcelain Child Head Vase

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Teen:Napco
This sweet gal is dressed up in a large pale green bonnet that ties under her chin with a pink ribbon. Her oversized white collar has a scalloped edge to it. I love her expressive sideways glance. She looks fabulous when displayed with other Victorian style vases that are also for sale (see last picture). Condition: Excellent condition having no chips, cracks or crazing. Measurements: 4 ¾” Age: 1950/60’s Markings: N505B Shipping: Priority or Parcel Post mail is available and is calculated by zip ...
SALE Pair Retro Angel Head Vases

$12 USD SaleSALE Pair Retro Angel Head Vases

Pottery:Head Vase:Holiday,Seasonal:Angels
These peaceful angels are knelt down in prayer. They wear creamy robes and are trimmed in gold accents. They would look lovely in a Christmas display or anywhere you would like angels to be present! They would make great candle holders if you fill the inside with some putty to get the candles to sit upright (otherwise they tend to fall at a slight angle). Have fun decorating with them! Condition: Excellent condition inside and out having no chips, cracks or crazing. The gold halos show some ...
SALE Princess Lady Head Vase w/ Pin Cushion

$12 USD SaleSALE Princess Lady Head Vase w/ Pin Cushion

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Sewing:Pincushion
This cutie is a rare find. I have not come across her before in all my head hunting. She is made out of a chalkware type plaster. She wears a golden/bronze colored crown. Her previous owner used her as a pin cushion. The pin cushion is removable if you prefer not to have it on there. If you have been collecting for awhile and are looking for something different this sweet girl may be the answer! Condition: Good condition with no chips or crazing. There is a tight hairline running up the middle ...
SALE Parma Lady Head Vase w/ Elegant Pony Tail

$100 USD SaleSALE Parma Lady Head Vase w/ Elegant Pony Tail

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Parma
This has always been a favorite of mine. She has such style with her hair swept up into an elegant ponytail. She has a beautiful matte finish and her shoulder bow that sticks up into the air is still perfectly intact! She is fun to display at a variety of angles. Condition: Excellent condition. The paint is excellent showing no wear. There are no cracks, chips, crazing or repairs. Only picky thing I can find to mention is that her face under enlarged picture magnification has a little bit of ...
SALE PY Kids w/ Fruit Wallpocket Head Vase Planters

$100 USD SaleSALE PY Kids w/ Fruit Wallpocket Head Vase Planters

Pottery:Head Vase:Wall Pocket:Pair:Boy & Girl:Py
This is a rare wall pocket set. I have personally been collecting the wall pockets for some time and this is the sweetest and hardest to find set I have ever come across. They are mint condition too! They kind of resemble the Campbell kids with their pudgy cheeks and big innocent eyes. The boy is holding an apple and the girl is holding a peach perhaps or maybe hers is simply a golden delicious apple! A real treat for the decorator or collector. Condition: Excellent condition. The paint is ...
SALE Relpo Miss Jet Age Teen Head Vase

$140 USD SaleSALE Relpo Miss Jet Age Teen Head Vase

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Relpo:Miss Jet Age
This lady is so mod in her lime green beret, sleeveless collar shirt and white glove. She is, as Madonna would say, striking a pose! And indeed, according to the book Collecting Head Vases by Dave Barron this head vase was fashioned after a real model that appeared on billboards and other US advertising in the mid to late 1950’s. One of the billboards advertised a popular soft drink and this particular lady looks like the model in those ads. Another company by the name of Unicorn also made this ...
SALE Rare Relpo Lady Head Vase w Updo & Hat

$180 USD SaleSALE Rare Relpo Lady Head Vase w Updo & Hat

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Relpo
This is one rare lady! You may have seen the grossly painted ugly repros of this one but to see her vintage AND in person is a delight! This is the first time I have ever had this lady in my possession and she is pristine. You can see all the details in the ruffles around her high neck collar. You can see the highlights in her swept up hair and each individual curl that is pinned up and peeking out from underneath her hat. Her face borders on being a teenager but I think her hair style and ...
SALE Rare Glamour Lady Style Head Vase w/ Braids

$31 USD SaleSALE Rare Glamour Lady Style Head Vase w/ Braids

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Glamour
This fun lady head vase resembles the glamour girl style with her white skin and hair and gold painted features--but she has braids! She is quite rare and would be fun to add to your collection. Her hat is actually fitted over and applied to the top of her head (two pieces but the hat is attached). She is not marked but I would guess that she was made by a USA pottery company like many of her glamour girl sisters. Condition: Excellent condition with the exception of a tiny touch-up to a nip in ...
SALE Shafford Graduate Lady Head Vase

$34 USD SaleSALE Shafford Graduate Lady Head Vase

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Graduate
This petite graduate looks like she finished out the year with a rough semester if you go buy her expression—but hey, she did it! Her school colors are perfect for a spring graduation in a soft pastel green. Her large peter pan style collar with bow are placed nicely on the outside of her robe. Lovely example and what a fun gift for the graduate! Condition: Excellent condition having no chips or cracks. Clear crazing in her matte and satin finishes. Super clean. Measurements: 4 ½” Markings: Hand ...
SALE Rare Pink & White Polka Dot Blonde Lady Head Vase

$700 USD SaleSALE Rare Pink & White Polka Dot Blonde Lady Head Vase

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Rare
I write this listing with much apprehension because I know I may never again have this sought after beauty in my possession again. She is extremely hard to come by especially in pink with blond hair (she is also made in green with brunette hair). Her wide bow gathers her hair at the base of her neck and sticks out on either side of her neck in flirtatious fashion. Her blouse matches perfectly and has a scalloped, ruffled neckline. She appears so humble despite her beauty… Condition: Excellent ...
SALE Sultry Airline Stewardess Lady Head Vase

$68 USD SaleSALE Sultry Airline Stewardess Lady Head Vase

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Stewardess
Here’s everyone’s favorite stewardess! Fitted cap and neckscarf complete the airline outfit. She has a super matte finish and her face is painted very nicely. You can have fun collecting the whole set of attendants! Condition: Excellent condition having no chips, cracks or crazing. A few scuffs or scratches to her delicate finish here or there but nothing serious or detracting. Measurements: 5½” Markings: stamped Japan Age: 1950/60’s Shipping: $8 via Priority Mail or Fed Ex Ground Insured OR ...
SALE Super Chic Teen Head Vase  w Hat & Wispy Bob

$260 USD SaleSALE Super Chic Teen Head Vase w Hat & Wispy Bob

Pottery:Head Vase:Lady:Teen:Relpo
This is a coveted face in the head vase collecting world. She has such a chic vintage look with her wispy bob, hat and bow. Very, very hard to find in this large 7” size. Her matte finish is as about as good as I ever see on these ladies with the super dry matte finish that is so susceptible to spotting, rubs etc…she shows just a little around the rim mainly in the back and sides but not where it counts! Condition: Excellent condition having no chips or cracks. She has clear overall crazing. ...
