Antique Nippon Hair Receiver Hand Painted Porcelain Black Trim Floral Shabby Cottage Chic

Antique hand painted nippon porcelain hair receiver black trim floral shabby cottage chic #3. This is a gorgeous antique hand painted porcelain hair receiver featuring pink roses and tiny blue and orange flowers.

The base and lid are accented with black trim and raised gilt enameling and pique beaded trim. This has the "kinjo china handpainted nippon" backstamp which dates it to 1891-1911. This is not a reproduction. This beautiful antique vanity jar is known as a hair receiver.

A woman would take the accumulated hair from her hair brush and place it inside this handy receptacle. The leftover hair would be used to either make hair jewelry or fashioned into what are known as "rats", which were pads of hair to be used underneath hairstyles to give the impression of a fuller head of hair. This would make a fine addition to your antique porcelain collection or use as intended on your dining table.

Can be used to stash anything from your favorite face powder, jewelry or beauty aids on your vanity table or powder room. Measures 2.5" tall, 3.25" square. Condition: very good pre-owned condition, there is a some wear to the gilding.

All photos taken in natural sunlight. This is part of a huge collection of antique nippon porcelain that i recently acquired from a longtime elderly collector who needed to sell off her collection as she was moving into an assisted living facility.

All pieces are authentic and antique. I will be listing more of these pieces over the next few weeks, so please check back to see what is new to my shop.
