Hi Everyone! I am Amy, one of the Moderators here at Secondhandsquad.net. Part of that role is to assist with any questions you may have, so fire away! I am from Columbus, Ohio and love thrifting and perusing our local antique stores! I enjoy pieces that remind me of my grandparents and love the hunt of finding unique treasures to bring into my home. While I love the reselling business, I find my joy in giving new life to old pieces and sharing that with others.
Lefton, originally known as Geo. Zoltan Lefton Company, was an importer of fine china and decorative accessories, established in Chicago in 1939. The company became particularly well-known for its charming ceramic figurines, often featuring cherubs, angels, and whimsical animals, many of which were produced in Japan. These pieces were popular collectibles, especially during the mid-20th century, appreciated for their delicate artistry and sentimental appeal. This particular figurine, identified as a praying angel planter, exemplifies the popular style of Lefton's decorative wares. The design, with its serene expression and praying posture, evokes a sense of peace and devotion, making it a favored item for display in homes. The inclusion of the "Trade Mark Exclusives" and the "Japan" origin mark are characteristic of Lefton's production during the post-war era, a period when Japanese ceramic manufacturing flourished for export.
