Vintage Napco Newsboy Figurine 1950s Japan 8 Inch Ceramic Boy Holding Newspaper
This vintage Napco Ceramic Japan figurine features an adorable young newsboy with rosy cheeks, wide expressive eyes, and a sweet open-mouth expression as if calling out headlines. He wears a navy jacket, green trousers, brown shoes, and a bright red neck scarf. He carries two bundled newspapers, one labeled New York Times, adding wonderful nostalgic detail.
The piece stands on an ivory round base and measures approximately 8 1/4 inches tall.
Condition is very good vintage condition:
No chips or cracks
Light age-appropriate crazing visible primarily on the base
Original Napco label intact
Clean, bright hand-painted finish
This figurine dates to approximately the 1950s–early 1960s, when Napco (National Potteries Corporation of Cleveland) imported decorative ceramics from Japan. The sweet facial expression and stylized detailing are very typical of that era.
Please see photos for additional details. Accessories not included.
