Miniature Figurines | 1940s Occupied Japan Porcelain Pair or “Catherine Howard” Trinket Box

Two distinct vintage treasures, each with its own story. One option features a pair of delicate porcelain miniatures marked Made in Occupied Japan, a label used for exported goods between 1945 and 1952 during the Allied occupation following World War II. These figurines reflect both postwar craftsmanship and the era’s unique place in global trade.

The second piece is a small porcelain trinket box designed in the likeness of Catherine Howard, fifth wife of Henry VIII. Manufactured by Yasco, this collectible box features her name and dates inside, with hand-painted details and a classic clasp.

Each piece is mini in scale (see quarter in photos for reference). Please note: the Catherine trinket box has some paint wear on the back (can provide a photo - just shoot me a message! :))
